Marian Knight MBE said 'The UK maternal death rate has now returned to levels not seen for the past 20 years. The 2023 MBRRACE-UK maternal confidential enquiry identified clear examples of maternity systems under pressure and this rise in maternal mortality raises further concern.'

Latest UK maternal mortality figures released today. The maternal death rate in 2020-22 was 13.41 per 100,000 maternities. This is significantly 53% higher than the rate of 8.79 deaths per 100,000 maternities in the previous three year period (2017-19). buff.ly/3HfFpCO
