The life-time risk of maternal death in the developing world is about 500 times that for women in developed countries. This disparity is wider than for any other public health statistic. The causes of 304 maternal deaths occurring in the period 1984-1986 are reported; this most likely represents only 10% of the total occurring in Papua New Guinea. The maternal mortality rate is estimated at 7/1000 for the period. Figures for Simbu Province are given in more detail than are available for other parts of Papua New Guinea.
