Today, the indicator of maternal mortality is an emerging problem of the domestic health care system: according to the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine in 2016, 77 women died, whose death is associated with pregnancy. The maternal mortality rate is 14.5% per 100,000 live births. According to the United Nations Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-agency Group (MMEIG), which takes into account the fertility rate and the economic situation of the country, the ratio of MM in Ukraine is 5 times (32 per 100 thousand live births in 2010) higher than in the European Union (6 per 100 thousand live births in 2010). There is a negative stable tendency of the maternal mortality level in Ukraine, the main reasons for which are insufficient access to family planning services; high level of pathology of pregnant women; an imperfect system for standardizing medical care; insufficient monitoring of maternal deaths; insufficient state support of the planning and birth of a child. The implementation of the Global Strategy and the goal of stopping maternal mortality by 2030 will contribute to the reduction of MM: to overcome inequalities in the availability and quality of health services in the areas of reproductive health, maternal and newborn health; to ensure universal coverage of health services for comprehensive health and sanitary assistance in reproductive health; to overcome all causes of maternal mortality, reproductive and maternal morbidity and related disabilities; to strengthen health systems by collecting reliable data in order to respond to the needs and priorities of women and girls; to ensure accountability for improving of the quality of care and justice.</p&gt;}, number={3-4}, journal={Likars’ka sprava}, author={Zhylka, N.
