Cuba's Maternal Mortality Ratio, as recorded by the World Bank, exhibits significant fluctuations over the 40-year period from 1985 to 2025. The ratio peaked at 172.00 in 2021, a stark contrast to the all-time trough of 35.00 in 2023. This marked decline indicates a substantial improvement in maternal healthcare in Cuba, with the latest ratio standing at 62.00 in 2025, ranking the country #91 globally. Notably, Cuba's improvement closely mirrors that of Nicaragua, which also experienced a significant decrease in its Maternal Mortality Ratio, ranking closest to Cuba with a ratio of 62.60. The relatively lower ratio of 61.40 in Libya underscores the variation in progress among countries with similar economic profiles. Cuba's steady decline in maternal mortality suggests continued progress, but a reversal in healthcare trends or inadequate funding could potentially hinder this trajectory.
