As of 2020, Maternal mortality ratio Comparison - The World Factbook
South Sudan and Afghanistan are among the worst; the US came in at 122 out of 186 (higher rank being better).

U.S. policymakers and delivery system leaders could learn from international models of maternity care, including for postpartum support and workforce composition.

The United States continues to have the highest rate of maternal deaths of any high-income nation, despite a decline since the COVID-19 pandemic. And within the U.S., the rate is by far the highest for Black women. Most of these deaths — over 80 percent — are likely preventable.1​

​

With policies and systems in place to support women during the perinatal period, several high-income countries report virtually no maternal deaths. As policymakers and health care delivery system leaders in the U.S. seek ways to end the nation’s maternal mortality crisis, these countries may offer viable solutions.​

It's likely to get worse in the red states as the number of practicing ob-gyns decline; many won't train there any more.
