Comoros has made significant progress in reducing its Maternal Mortality Ratio over the past four decades. With a ratio of 172.80 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2025, the country has seen a substantial decline from its peak of 850.00 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1985. This improvement is comparable to that of the Central African Republic, which also achieved a ratio of 172.80 in 2025. The reduction in maternal mortality in Comoros can be attributed to various initiatives aimed at improving healthcare services and access to reproductive health care. However, the country still lags behind other regions in terms of maternal health outcomes. To further improve this trend, Comoros would need to strengthen its healthcare infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, and address the underlying social determinants of health that contribute to high maternal mortality rates.
