Nepal

Nepal’s maternal mortality rate continues at an unacceptably high level. While maternal mortality figures vary widely by source and are highly controversial, the best estimates for Nepal suggest that approximately 6,900 women and girls die each year due to pregnancy-related complications. Additionally, another 138,000 to 207,000 Nepalese women and girls will suffer from disabilities caused by complications during pregnancy and childbirth each year.
