In September 2015, South Africa (SA) and 192 countries adopted Agenda 2030, which included the Sustainable Development Goals. With a mere 6 years to go before 2030, it is useful to understand what progress SA is making towards their attainment. In this short report, we assess progress towards meeting the maternal mortality target, globally and in SA. The maternal mortality ratio that countries are expected to reach is no more than 70 deaths per 100 000 live births. A range of sources is used to show progress, with an emphasis on the reports of the National Committee on Confidential Enquiries into Maternal deaths, which reports on the number of maternal deaths in health facilities, together with reasons for these deaths and recommendations to reduce preventable mortality.
2015 年 9 月，南非（SA）和 192 个国家通过了《2030 年议程》，其中包括可持续发展目标。距离 2030 年仅剩 6 年，了解南非在实现这些目标方面的进展情况是很有用的。在这份简短的报告中，我们评估了全球和南非在实现孕产妇死亡率目标方面的进展情况。各国预期实现的孕产妇死亡率是每 10 万例活产死亡不超过 70 例。我们使用了一系列来源来展示进展情况，重点介绍国家孕产妇死亡机密调查委员会的报告，该报告报告了卫生机构中孕产妇死亡的数量，以及这些死亡的原因和减少可预防死亡的建议。
