Overview
Georgia's maternal mortality ratio stood at 26.00 in 2025, a rise of +6.00 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 26.00 by 2025. Georgia ranked 122nd globally.
Georgia’s maternal mortality ratio has shown a marked decline over the past four decades, falling from 34.00 in 1985 to 26.00 in 2025, a figure that places the country at rank 122 globally. The indicator experienced an all‑time peak of 60.00 in 2021 before reaching its trough of 20.00 in 2023, illustrating a rapid improvement in recent years. Compared with peer nations, Georgia’s 2025 level is slightly lower than Costa Rica’s 26.60 and marginally higher than Uzbekistan’s 24.60, suggesting that regional performance is converging. The downward trajectory reflects expanded prenatal care, improved obstetric services, and stronger health‑system financing, yet the ratio remains above the World Health Organization’s target of fewer than 10 deaths per 100 000 live births. Continued investment in rural health infrastructure and the scaling up of skilled birth‑attendant coverage will be crucial to sustain the decline and move Georgia closer to international benchmarks.
