The Maldivian health system has far outperformed nearly all its South Asian neighbours in health and safety outcomes. The Maldives was also the only South Asian country to achieve all health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and mortality-based Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ahead of time. Life expectancy at birth stood at 79 years in 2019, which was significantly higher than the South Asian average of 70 years. In terms of maternal and child health (MCH) indicators, Maldives’ infant and under-five mortality rates declined by almost 90 percent between 1990 and 2017 (63.0 to 7.6 and 85.8 to 8.8 per 1,000 live births, respectively), and the maternal mortality ratio has halved between 2000 and 2017 (125 to 53 per 100,000 live births).
