Since 2000, the trend of Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in Indonesia has shown a downward trend. World Bank data indicates that the MMR in Indonesia was 177 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2017. This figure is down 35 percent compared to 2000, which recorded 272 deaths per 100,000 live births. Although the trend is downward, it has not yet reached the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2015 target of 110 deaths per 100,000 live births.
Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) definition, maternal death occurs during pregnancy or within 42 days after the termination of pregnancy. Some of the most frequent risk factors causing maternal death include hypertension and hemorrhage. In addition, infections, abortion, or prolonged labor also contribute to maternal mortality risk factors.
