The Slovak Republic's maternal mortality ratio has shown a significant decline over the past four decades. With a ratio of 5.60 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2025, the country ranks 175 globally, a considerable improvement from its all-time peak of 19.00 in 1987. The most recent low point of 4.00 in 2023 suggests a continued downward trend, although the 2025 ratio has stagnated at the same level as Croatia's. Since 1985, the country has made notable progress in reducing maternal mortality, a trend that can be attributed to improvements in healthcare infrastructure and access to quality medical services. A continued commitment to investing in maternal healthcare and addressing socio-economic factors that influence health outcomes will be crucial in sustaining this progress and potentially further reducing the maternal mortality ratio in the Slovak Republic.
