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.
