  • Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is estimated under the total number of live borns in a region or country

  • Unfair and unjust inequalities are considered INEQUITIES
  • Attributable fraction is a way to measure the amount of inequity related with Maternal Mortality
  • Maternal Mortality is an unfair and unjust inequality
