How this figure is calculated

Number of maternal deaths divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Number of maternal deaths ÷ Population, total

Computed from

Number of maternal deaths Trends in Maternal Mortality, World Health Organization (WHO)
Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)

Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
