Maternal, Newborn & Child HealthMaternal & neonatal mortality, skilled birth attendance, antenatal care, fertility & child stunting — for the world, income groups, regions & ~55 of the largest countries

How to read this. Every figure is a World Bank reported value for a specific year — always shown next to the number, because the latest available year varies (often 2023–2024 for mortality, but typically 2018–2019 for skilled birth attendance, antenatal care and stunting, which come from periodic household surveys). This is descriptive: it shows where things stand and how they have moved since 2000. It does not predict the future, and cross-country comparisons carry differences in survey timing, measurement and completeness. Maternal mortality figures are modeled estimates (UN MMEIG).

Highest burden is at the top. Ranked across the ~55 most populous countries in this atlas (not all 200+ World Bank economies). The year column is the latest available reported value for each country and indicator, which can differ between rows — so rank reflects recency as well as level. Bar length is relative to the highest value shown. Maternal mortality is a modeled UN MMEIG estimate; stunting comes from periodic surveys, so its year is often older.
