Presidential candidate number two, Prabowo Subianto, stated that Indonesia's maternal mortality rate is among the ten highest in the world.

He made this statement during the fifth 2024 Presidential Debate series, themed on social welfare, culture, education, information technology, health, employment, human resources, and inclusion, held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) on Sunday, February 4, 2024.

“I think it's very, very important that we drastically reduce the maternal mortality rate; we are among the ten countries with the highest maternal mortality rate during childbirth,” he said.

According to the Maternal Mortality Ratio data in *The World Factbook* published by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Indonesia's maternal mortality rate ranks 52nd globally.

In 2020, Indonesia's maternal mortality rate was 173 female deaths due to pregnancy or childbirth per 100,000 live births.

In Southeast Asia, Indonesia ranks fourth, below Cambodia, Timor-Leste, and Myanmar.

South Sudan holds the first rank globally for the highest maternal mortality rate, with an estimated 1,223 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2020.
