The forecast indicates a declining trend in infant deaths in Brazil from 2024, starting at 13.36 million deaths, to an estimated 10.73 million by 2028. Year-on-year variations show a decrease in infant mortality rate with annual reductions approximately between 5% and 6%. As of 2023, actual figures stood at 14.04 million. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period averages around a reduction of 5.3% per year, reflecting significant improvements in healthcare, education, and social conditions contributing to lower infant mortality.
Future trends to watch for include Brazil's continued investment in healthcare infrastructure, government policies targeting child welfare, and potential sociopolitical changes that could impact resource allocation for infant care. Technological innovation in medical care and public health awareness campaigns will also play crucial roles in sustaining this downward trajectory of infant mortality.
