The update on Nigeria would be an eye opener, because what one can passive is, to say the least, scary.

This is out of date. The 2006 Sudan Household Survey placed maternal mortality at 2327 deaths per 100,000 live births.

Where is Sierra Leone? It should be somewhere at the top of this appalling league table. And is Greece really so good? If so, which I doubt, let's look at how they do it there and see what we can learn.

Seems to me there may be considerably more statistical correction done to the maternal mortality figures. Could you honestly believe maternal mortality is 10 times higher in France than in Greece?

The margins of uncertainty associated with the estimated Maternal Mortality Ratio's(MMR) are very large, and the estimates should not, therefore, be used to monitor trends in the short term. In addition, cross-country comparisons should be treated with considerable circumspection because different strategies are used to derive the estimates for different countries, making it difficult to draw comparisons.According to the WHO, the estimated number of maternal deaths in 2000 for the world was 529,000. These deaths were almost equally divided between Africa (251,000) and Asia (253,000), with about 4% (22,000) occurring in Latin America and the Caribbean, and less than 1% (2,500) in the more developed regions of the world. No wonder African countries top this list as access to health staff during delivery is very limited there.
