Overview
Micronesia, Federated States of's maternal mortality ratio stood at 124.00 in 2025, a decline of +5.00 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 124.00 by 2025. Micronesia, Federated States of ranked 58th globally.
Micronesia’s maternal mortality ratio fell from an all‑time peak of 224.00 in 1987 to a trough of 124.00 in 2025, a decline of 100.00 points over 38 years and placing the country at rank 58 globally for the latest year. This improvement reflects a 44.6 percent reduction in maternal deaths per 100 000 live births, narrowing the gap with regional peers such as the Solomon Islands (122.00) and Nepal (127.40). The downward trajectory coincides with expanded prenatal care, increased skilled birth attendance, and targeted public‑health funding that began in the late 1990s, although the absolute level remains substantially higher than the WHO’s target of less than 70. Continued progress will depend on sustaining health‑system investments, especially in remote islands, and on addressing socioeconomic determinants that still drive higher mortality. If these reforms are maintained, the ratio is likely to keep falling toward the regional average in the coming decade.
