In Libya
In 2005, maternal mortality in Libya was recorded at 97 per 100,000
live births. While this figure is above the average for high human
development countries, Libya is working towards achieving MDG Goal
5, with 94% of births attended by skilled health personnel. With
increased attention to public health delivery, Libya is likely to be
achieve goal 5 within the 2015 timeframe.
