    Trends in Maternal Mortality: 1990 to 2013

    This report presents new estimates of maternal mortality produced by the Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-Agency Group (MMEIG) as part of global and country monitoring of the Millennium Development Goal five. The estimates are the seventh in a series of analyses carried out by MMEIG. The report describes estimates of levels and trends in maternal mortality ratio between 1990 and 2013, associated number of maternal deaths and lifetime risk of maternal deaths. 

    The methods, as well as the data sources for the estimation of MMR, have improved over time. Building on the methodological advancements from the previous round of analyses, newly available data collected by MMEIG and obtained during country consultation were incorporated. This new round of estimates replaces previous rounds.
