Massive drop in maternal mortality over the past century
This is enlightening. US maternal death rates compared to other industrialized nations.
From: https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2020/nov/maternal-mortality-maternity-care-us-compared-10-countries
Thatβs messed up
USA, 55th in the world overall, for maternal mortality in a 2018 study.
A fast look at the UNICEF data for 2020 shows 66th.
That's behind the State of Palestine (61st), Moldova (46th), Albania (34th), Poland (3rd) and Belarus (1st).

Big yikes
Thanks for the data
