Surprisingly: Maternal Mortality Rate

Based on the country progress on all indicators,the Philippines is in critical danger of notachieving the target on improving maternalhealth by 2015. While the maternal mortality rate

(MMR) had been declining over the past twodecades, from 209 per 100,000 live births in 1993to 172 in 1998 to 162 in 2006, the rate of changehas been relatively low. In addition, the decline

appears to have stalled making the targetreduction in MMR of 52 deaths per 100,000 livebirths by 2015 highly improbable.
