In 2023, Brazil’s infant mortality rate was 12.5 deaths per thousand live births. Forecasts for 2024 through 2028 suggest a consistent decline, from 12.3 to 11.6. This indicates a slight but steady improvement in infant health outcomes over the period. Year-on-year variations from 2023 to 2024 show a decrease of approximately 1.6%, with an average Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -1.5% expected from 2023 through 2028. This trend highlights ongoing efforts likely in healthcare improvements and maternal-child health interventions.
Future considerations should focus on monitoring healthcare access disparities, potential impacts of economic variables, and policy effectiveness in sustaining this downward trend. Additionally, attention should be on emerging healthcare technologies and investments in prenatal and postnatal care to ensure continuous improvements in infant mortality rates.
