Grenada Maternal Mortality Ratio
Maternal mortality ratio per 100,000 live births SH.STA.MMRT
Grenada's maternal mortality ratio was 49.40 in 2025, ranked 100th globally. This represents a 2.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1985–2025.
Overview
Grenada's maternal mortality ratio stood at 49.40 in 2025, a rise of +1.40 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 49.40 by 2025. Grenada ranked 100th globally.
Grenada's maternal mortality ratio has shown a significant decline over the past four decades. At 49.40 deaths per 100,000 live births, the country ranks #100 globally, according to the latest available data from the World Bank. Notably, this represents a substantial improvement from the all-time peak of 71.00 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1985. However, this trend is not unique to Grenada, as neighboring Dominica also experienced a decline, albeit to a slightly higher level of 50.40 deaths per 100,000 live births. The all-time trough of 39.00 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2006 suggests that Grenada has made progress in reducing maternal mortality, but the current ratio remains higher than its lowest recorded level. To continue improving, Grenada would likely need to address disparities in healthcare access and quality, particularly in rural areas, and invest in maternal health services, including prenatal care and emergency obstetric care.
