The perinatal mortality rates in France and the Netherlands are fairly similar (8.2% and 8.4% respectively in 1996); yet, while in France most children are born in a hospital, almost a third of births in the Netherlands take place at home (although hospital births have become much more common in the last 30 years).

For example, Sri Lanka has 30 times lower maternal mortality rates than Angola, with similar GDP per capita levels, or Malawi has half the under five mortality rate of Equatorial Guinea, with 30 times lower GDP per capita.
