The forecast for Brazil's infant mortality rate shows a consistent decline from 2024 through 2028. The rate is expected to decrease from 9.1 deaths per thousand live births in 2024 to 6.6 by 2028. In 2023, the rate was slightly above 9.1, indicating an ongoing downward trend. Year-on-year percentage decreases reflect an accelerated improvement in infant care, with significant advances anticipated between 2024 and 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a steady average decline over this period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Continued investment in healthcare infrastructure, targeting maternal and child health services.
- Expansion of public health campaigns focusing on prenatal and neonatal care.
- Potential impacts of socioeconomic factors, including poverty reduction and improved education, on mortality rates.
- Monitoring external factors such as policy changes and international health initiatives that could further influence these trends.
