The maternal morality rate rose by more than 15% to 62 deaths per 1000,000 births from 2008 to 2009. According to non-governmental studies, things are worse than the official data indicate.[2]

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[3] finds that Kyrgyzstan is fulfilling 81.2% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.[4] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Kyrgyzstan achieves 98.4% of what is expected based on its current income.[5] In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 90.3% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income. [6] Kyrgyzstan falls into the "very bad" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling only 55.0% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.[7]
