Unfortunately as maternal mortality is a relatively rare event (compared to other indicators measured in DHS) it requires a very large sample size to provide an estimate of the maternal mortality ratio with a reasonable level of accuracy. In the report we provide estimates of maternal mortality only at the national level, and this would have a very large confidence interval around it. The sample is not designed to produce an estimate at any lower level of disaggregation because of the very low level of accuracy of any disaggregated estimate.
