Maternal Mortality Rates and Infant Mortality Rates by State The US is one of the few countries where Maternal Mortality Rates (MMR) are increasing. North Dakota is surrounded by states which have the same (MN) and lower (MN & SD) MMR. In 2000 maternal mortality rates was 13 per 100,000 births in the United States, now (2013) it is 28 for the United States according to World Bank statistics. Hope these are accurate? In 2000 for Bangladesh which is a lot poorer than the US it was 340 deaths per 100,000 births now (2013) it is 170. It is increasing in the US, but most other countries it seems to be decreasing. In Sri Lanka it was 55 deaths per 100,000 births in 2000, now (2013) it is 29. Comparing the maternal mortality for the US and Sri Lanka, difference is only one. In the year 2000 the maternal mortality rate in the United Kingdom was 11, in 2013 it was 8. In 2010 it was 11 deaths per 100,000 births in the United Kingdom. Canada had a MMR of 6 in 1990, but it is 11 in 2013. In Belarus in 2000 maternal mortality rate was 32, but in 2013 it had reduced to just 1. These are matters that need real focus globally. Reducing maternal mortality rates in the United Kingdom and the United States is as important as solving all diseases in the developing world. - data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.STA.MMRT In the United States, the maternal death rate averaged 9.1 maternaldeaths per 100,000 live births during the years 1979-1986,[18] but then rose rapidly to 14 for every 100,000 patients in 2000 to 24 per every 100,000 patients in 2008.[19] According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 650 women die in the United States each year as a result of pregnancy and delivery complications. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maternal_death cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db120.htm
