Maternal Mortality Rate(MMR) refers to deaths due to complications from pregnancy and/or childbirth. Complications of childbirth and pregnancy are predominant reasons of death among women of reproductive age across the world. Setting up of goals for mortality reduction is vital, but it we must also acknowledge the fact that accurate measurement of maternal mortality remains still challenging and many deaths still go uncounted or unnoticed. As per the data published by WHO, the WHO African region has got the highest Maternal Mortality Rate when compared it with its other five regions. In this paper we predict how Maternal Mortality Rate(MMR) is related to the following attributes - GDP growth, Maternal Leave Policy, Literacy rate and Health care expenditure among the different regions of the world . As part of the predictions, Child Mortality Rate(CMR) is shown in relation with Maternal Mortality Rate(MMR); CMR among different age groups; Maternal mortality due to direct and indirect health causes like cerebrovascular arrest, cardio vascular arrest, infection; women age impact on Maternal mortality; Impact of Delivery methods on maternal mortality. Linear Regression algorithm and several Data visualization techniques are being used to visualize the impact of maternal mortality rate due to the above said parameters using normal Python and Microsoft Power BI tool for better visualization. From the predictions depicted from this paper, it is very clearly evident that GDP, health care expenditure have positive correlation with decline of MMR over the past few years; Child Mortality Rate is more due to Maternal Mortality Rate; C-Section Delivery method rate increasing over the past few years; Cause of maternal mortality due to other cardio vascular diseases tends to decline over years. The WHO recommends that oxytocin should be administered within a minute of birth to lower the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. Our model concludes that attributes like Maternal leave policy, fertility rate, literacy, health care expenditure have a major impact on Maternal Mortality Rate(MMR) compared to other attributes.
