Uzbekistan Maternal Mortality Ratio
Maternal mortality ratio per 100,000 live births SH.STA.MMRT
Uzbekistan's maternal mortality ratio was 24.60 in 2025, ranked 123rd globally. This represents a 5.4% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1985–2025.
Overview
Uzbekistan's maternal mortality ratio stood at 24.60 in 2025, a decline of +1.40 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 24.60 by 2025. Uzbekistan ranked 123rd globally.
Uzbekistan’s maternal mortality ratio has fallen dramatically over the past four decades, declining from an all‑time peak of 72.00 in 1985 to a trough of 24.60 in 2025, placing the country at rank 123 globally. This 66 percent reduction reflects sustained investments in reproductive health services, expanded access to skilled birth attendants, and the implementation of national guidelines aligned with World Health Organization recommendations. The latest figure of 24.60 is comparable to the 24.20 recorded in Armenia and only slightly above Singapore’s 23.60, indicating that Uzbekistan has joined the group of middle‑income economies achieving low maternal mortality levels. The improvement coincides with broader health‑system reforms and increased per‑capita health spending, which have collectively enhanced prenatal care coverage and emergency obstetric response. Continued emphasis on rural health infrastructure, further reduction of out‑of‑pocket costs, and integration of community health workers are likely to sustain the downward trajectory and bring the ratio closer to the sub‑20 benchmark observed in the region’s most advanced peers.
