Data from the Ministry of Health reveals the leading causes of maternal deaths in Kenya, highlighting ongoing challenges.

Post-partum haemorrhage remains the primary direct cause, accounting for nearly 40% of fatalities in 2020/2021.

Eclampsia and antepartum hemorrhage also contribute significantly.

The report, released in May 2025, tracks trends from 2020 to 2022.

While some causes, like ruptured uterus saw a slight decrease, others like sepsis showed an increase in 2021/2022 compared to the previous year.

Abortion continues to be a factor, with a slight rise in the later period.
