Overview <\/h3>\n
This brief aligns the latest maternal mortality estimates with whether a country is conflict-affected or considered institutionally fragile.\u00a0Nearly two-thirds of all maternal deaths worldwide occur in countries marked by conflict or fragility. The risk of a woman who lives in a country affected by conflict dying due to maternal causes is around five times higher for each pregnancy she undergoes compared to her peers in stable countries.\u00a0In 2023 alone, an estimated 160,000 women died from preventable maternal causes in fragile and conflict-affected settings, that is 6 in 10 maternal deaths worldwide, despite these countries accounting for only around one in ten of global live births.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
