Claim: In 2010 Iraq's Ministry of Health reported maternal mortality in Iraq at two/100,000 birth, then in 2011 CIA World Factbook and the WHO reported the maternal mortality rate at one death per 100,000 births.
Evidence: Countries by maternal mortality ratio in the year 2017 (most-recent year of data available, as of September 2020). At a country level, India (19% or 56,000) and Nigeria (14% or 40,000) accounted for roughly one third of the maternal deaths in 2010. The World Factbook, also known as the CIA World Factbook, is a reference resource produced by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) with almanac-style information about the countries of the world.
