Overview
Brunei Darussalam's maternal mortality ratio stood at 67.00 in 2025, a rise of +31.00 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 67.00 by 2025. Brunei Darussalam ranked 86th globally.
Brunei Darussalam's Maternal Mortality Ratio has demonstrated a considerable decline over the past 40 years, with the all-time peak of 88.00 in 2022 and the all-time trough of 36.00 in 2023. Despite reaching a significant low, the country still ranks #86 globally, with a ratio of 67.00 as of 2025. For comparison, Morocco, which ranks closely, recorded a ratio of 67.40 in the same year. This improvement is a notable achievement, given the country's relatively small population and limited healthcare resources. The rapid decline in maternal mortality ratio is a testament to Brunei Darussalam's efforts in upgrading its healthcare infrastructure and implementing targeted interventions. However, the trend is expected to continue as ongoing public health initiatives and investments in maternal healthcare continue to bear fruit, potentially leading to a further decrease in the ratio and a higher global ranking.
