In 2023, Brazil's under-5 mortality rate was 14.0 deaths per thousand live births. The forecasted data shows a decline from 2024 through 2028, reducing from 13.7 to 12.8 deaths per thousand live births, representing an average annual decline of approximately 1.86%. This consistent decrease indicates ongoing improvements in child healthcare.
Trends to watch for:
- Continued investment in healthcare infrastructure and policies addressing child health.
- Efforts to mitigate social and economic disparities affecting healthcare access.
- The impact of emerging public health challenges and interventions on mortality rates.
