India’s MMR at 103; UP, MP, Assam, Chhattisgarh Still Above 150 – Higher Than SDG goal

-The Wire Science

New Delhi: India’s maternal mortality ratio (MMR) has improved to 103 for the period between 2017 and 2019. However, despite an overall improvement, the ratio has remained the same for some states, according to the Sample Registration System’s (SRS) estimate released by the Registrar General of India. In some states, like West Bengal, Haryana and Uttarakhand, the ratio has worsened.

As per the 2020 data, during the period of 2016-18, India’s MMR decreased by 7.4% at 113, as compared to the MMR in 2015-17 which was at 122. India’s MMR was about 556 in 1990 and 254 in 2004-06.

Maternal mortality in a region is a measure of reproductive health of women in the area. MMR is defined as the number of maternal deaths during a given time period per 100,000 live births during the same time period.

The target of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) set by United Nations aims at reducing the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births.

According to the latest data, barring Karnataka (83), all southern states, including Kerala (30), Andhra Pradesh (58), Telangana (56) and Tamil Nadu (58) have the lowest MMR. Maharashtra (38) also has the lowest MMR in the country.
