Maternal death equality indexes are calculated based on maternal health care data from the national health routine reports 2000~2005.Although materual mortality rate(MMR)decreased from 2000 to 2005,it is much higher in the western than in the eastern.China Poverty reduction could eliminate 53%~60% the MMR.The concentration indexes are all negative in the year of 2000~2005,and all the L(p)lies above the diagonal,inequalities in mortality favour the better-off women.More seriously,the MMR gap between the provinces and the regions largely unchanged during the year 2000~2005.That means the maternal death inequality exists in our country without any effective effort to eliminate it.
