Hungary's Maternal Mortality Ratio has experienced fluctuations over the past four decades, with a significant improvement in the most recent years. The ratio stood at 12.00 per 100,000 live births in 2023, marking a trough since the available data began in 1985. However, the country still lags behind its peers, such as San Marino, which boasts a ratio of 14.80. Hungary's ratio peaked at 30.00 in 2021, indicating a concerning level of maternal mortality. Despite recent progress, the 2025 ratio remains high at 15.00, ranking Hungary 141st globally. In comparison, New Zealand, a country with a similar ranking, has a ratio of 16.00. The improvement in Hungary's ratio is a positive development, but further efforts are required to bridge the gap with its more successful peers. A continued investment in healthcare infrastructure and access to quality maternal care could alter the trajectory of Hungary's Maternal Mortality Ratio.
