Maternal Mortality

• Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is estimated under the total number of live borns in a region or country
• MMR is an indicator of development
• Unfair and unjust inequalities are considered INEQUITIES
• Attributable fraction is a way to measure the amount of inequity related with Maternal Mortality
