Compared to 2010, the maternal mortality ratio in the country in 2022 decreased by 1,0 points to 14,7. During the reviewed period, the number of maternal deaths during pregnancy, childbirth and after termination of pregnancy in the country decreased from 26 persons to 18 persons. In 2022, the number of maternal deaths by economic regions was 2 in Baku city, 1 in Daglikh Shirvan economic region, 1 in Ganja-Dashkasan economic region, 2 in Karabakh economic region, 2 in Gazakh-Tovuz economic region, 2 in Guba-Khachmaz economic region, 3 in Lankaran-Astara economic region, 3 in Central Aran economic region, 1 in Mil-Mughan economic region, 1 in Shaki-Zagatala economic region. In Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Absheron- Khizi, Eastern Zangazur, Shirvan-Salyan economic regions no maternal death was recorded.


Maternal mortality ratio increased from 9,5 to 19,0 in rural areas, and dropped from 22,0 to 10,1 in cities during the period from 2010 to 2022. In 2022, the number of maternal deaths was 6 in cities and 12 in rural areas.

As compared with 2018 the number of children who died before the age of five years increased by 10 persons and amounted to 1,835 persons in 2019, 1,113 of which were boys and 722 girls. It shows that the number of deaths among girls under five years of age is 35.1 percent less than that of boys.

Regarding to age groups disaggregation, in 2019 the number of infants died under one year of age increased by 10 persons compared to the previous year and amounted to 1,557 persons, while the number of children aged from one to five years was not change and amounted to 278.


3.2.2 Neonatal mortality rate

   In 2010-2019 the neonatal mortality rate in the country was on variational trend towards growth and decline. Thus, the indicator increased by 0.3 points in 2019 compared to 2010 and amounted to 6.9.
   The rate of early neonatal mortality occurring during the first 7 days of life decreased from 4.9 to 3.8 for girls and increased from 6.7 to 6.8 for boys. As a result, this indicator declined from 5.9 to 5.4.
   By contrast, late neonatal mortality rate generally increased from 0.7 to 1.5. Thus, it rose from 0.8 to 1.4 for girls and from 0.7 to 1.5 for boys.


   The neonatal mortality rate by sex for reviewed period, we can see that the figure rose from 7.4 to 8.3 for boys and dropped from 5.7 to 5.2 for girls. However, at each level of the dynamics, the mortality rate for boys was higher than that for girls.
