Data Snapshot: Maternal Mortality Rates Among "Very High" IHDI-Ranked Countries

I put together a very quick dashboard showing maternal mortality rates in countries with a "very high" Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) rank as defined by the UN Development Programme's 2020 Human Development Report. While I have seen some visualizations like these going around lately, I just wanted to cross reference the dataset I am finding in most of these sources with the IDHI rank. In line with the other reports that I am seeing, the U.S. ranks at the top, with the greatest number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.
