This study aimed at analyzing the infant, maternal, perinatal, fetal mortality statistics in the Republic of Korea (Korea), 2014. It was based on the open access data available from Statistics Korea website (http://kostat.go.kr/portal/eng/index.action). Recent trends of those vital statistics were also examined. It is the descriptive presentation and analysis of the national data. Number of infant death was 1,305 out of 435,435 live births in 2014 and infant mortality rate was 3.0. Number of maternal death was 48.Maternal mortality ratio (per 100,000 live births) was 11.0. Maternal mortality rate (per 100,000 women of child bearing years [15-49 years-old]) was 0.37. Number of perinatal death was 1,365 and perinatal mortality rate was 3.1. Number of fetal death was 5,317. Fetal mortality rate was 12.1. The trends of those vital statistics in recent years were consistent except a few: decrease of the maternal mortality ratio of pregnant women of 40 years-old and older; the change of the proportions of the causes of infant death that is, decrease of respiratory distress of new born and increase of bacterial sepsis. Above data showed that although there was a consistency of those vital statistics, some content varied by year. Pregnant women of less than 20 years-old should be monitored for their babies’ health more intensively. It can be a basic data for the establishment of the medical health policy by Korean Government.
