Recently revised estimates of levels and trends of maternal mortality based on three sources are reviewed and trajectory for reaching the mortality reducing target by 2030 is assessed. According to the estimates provided by the UN Maternal Mortality Inter-agency Group (MMEIG), the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) started from a high of 901 in 1990, dropping to 258 in 2015, or a reduction of 71% over the 25 year period. Between 2000 and 2015, MMEIG estimates showed a reduction of 53%. The MMR is targeted to be reduced to at least to 70 by 2030. This implies a reduction of 73%, which is considerably higher than the reduction recorded during the earlier (2000-2015) period (which was 53%), or annualized rate of decline of 8.7% v 5.0%. Therefore, the future trajectory warrants undertaking strategic interventions more intensively than what may have been hitherto. Concurrently, more attention also needs to be given to strengthening the recording and reporting of maternal deaths. Keywords: levels and trends; maternal mortality; Nepal; projections.
最近对基于三个来源的孕产妇死亡率水平和趋势的最新估计进行了审查，并评估了到 2030 年实现降低死亡率目标的轨迹。根据联合国孕产妇死亡率机构间小组（MMEIG）提供的估计数，孕产妇死亡率比数（MMR）从 1990 年的 901 高位开始下降，到 2015 年降至 258，25 年内减少了 71%。2000 年至 2015 年期间，MMEIG 的估计数显示减少了 53%。目标是到 2030 年至少将 MMR 降低到 70。这意味着减少 73%，比早期（2000-2015 年）记录的减少幅度（53%）高得多，或年下降率为 8.7%比 5.0%。因此，未来的轨迹需要比以往更加强烈地采取战略干预措施。同时，还需要更加关注加强孕产妇死亡的记录和报告。关键词：水平和趋势；孕产妇死亡率；尼泊尔；预测。
