"Twenty years ago, Maldives had a high Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) of 259 per 100,000 live births (1997). The MMR has fallen steadily since that time due to significant investments in ensuring health care facilities and medical personnel were available on every Atoll, and basic primary health care available on all inhabited islands.
