Cyprus's Maternal Mortality Ratio, as recorded by the World Bank, has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past four decades. With a current ranking of 111 globally, the island nation's maternal mortality ratio stands at 40.20 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2025. Notably, this ratio has experienced a stark increase, peaking at 98.00 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2021, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast, the ratio hit its all-time trough of 10.00 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2013, suggesting a substantial improvement in maternal healthcare services. Compared to its peer countries, Cyprus's maternal mortality ratio is higher than El Salvador's 40.40, but lower than Cabo Verde's 40.60. As health systems continue to adapt to emerging challenges, a decline in maternal mortality ratios globally is anticipated, contingent upon sustained investments in maternal healthcare infrastructure and services.
