Tajikistan Maternal Mortality Ratio
Maternal mortality ratio per 100,000 live births SH.STA.MMRT
Tajikistan's maternal mortality ratio was 12.80 in 2025, ranked 147th globally. This represents a 8.6% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1985–2025.
Overview
Tajikistan's maternal mortality ratio stood at 12.80 in 2025, a decline of +1.20 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 12.80 by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 147th globally.
Tajikistan’s maternal mortality ratio has fallen dramatically over the past four decades, dropping from an all‑time peak of 98.00 in 1985 to a trough of 12.80 in 2025, a reduction of nearly 87 percent and placing the country at rank 147 globally. This decline mirrors the progress seen in peer nations such as Kazakhstan, which records the same 12.80 ratio, and Romania, with a slightly lower 12.20, suggesting that regional health policies and investments in obstetric care are yielding comparable outcomes. The sustained improvement reflects expanded prenatal services, increased skilled birth attendance, and broader health‑system reforms that have been pursued since the early 2000s. While the current level is close to that of high‑income countries like Canada (13.20) and the United Kingdom (11.40), further reductions will depend on continued financing of rural health infrastructure and the integration of comprehensive maternal health programs, which could push Tajikistan’s ratio below the 10‑per‑100 000 threshold in the coming decade.
