How this score is built
Maternal mortality ratio — maternal deaths per 100,000 live births — World Bank indicator SH.STA.MMRT (modelled estimate by the UN Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-agency Group: WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, World Bank, UN DESA). Direction is higher_worse.
The distribution is highly skewed (a few countries exceed 500–1,000 while most are below 50), so we normalize with percentile rank and invert for direction: 100 = lowest maternal mortality. The raw ratio is shown. It is a modelled estimate; most recent available year per country.
