Summary. The maternal mortality rate in Hong Kong feil from 0·45/1000 total births in 1961 to 0·05/1000 total births in 1985. During the period between 1961 and 1985 there were a total of 438 maternal deaths and 2 193 012 births. Of the 438 deaths 150 (34%) were due to haemor-rhage during pregnancy and childbirth (ICD 640, 641, 666), 89 (20%) were due to pre-eclampsia (ICD 642, 643) and 60 (13·7%) were due to ectopic pregnancy (ICD 633). Comparison of maternal deaths by cause between the periods 1961–1965 and 1981–1985 showed an 86% reduc-tion in deaths due to haemorrhage and pre-eclampsia and a 72% reduc-tion in deaths due to ectopic pregnancy. Pulmonary embolism was not a major cause of maternal mortality.
