Overview
Togo's maternal mortality ratio stood at 316.40 in 2025, a decline of +32.60 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 316.40 by 2025. Togo ranked 21st globally.
Togo’s maternal mortality ratio has fallen sharply over the past four decades, declining from 668.00 in 1985 to a trough of 316.40 in 2025, the lowest level recorded in the series and ranking it 21st globally. The indicator peaked at 728.00 in 1993 before the sustained downward trend began, reflecting improvements in obstetric care, expanded antenatal services and greater community outreach. Compared with peer countries, Togo’s 2025 figure of 316.40 is slightly better than Haiti’s 323.80 and close to the Gambia’s 323.80, while still above the lower rates observed in Nauru (294.40) and Sierra Leone (293.80). The reduction mirrors broader regional progress in West Africa, where policy reforms and international health financing have contributed to better outcomes for mothers. Continued investment in skilled birth attendance, emergency obstetric facilities and health‑system strengthening will be essential to sustain the decline and move the ratio further toward the Sustainable Development Goal target of less than 70 deaths per 100 000 live births.
