The infant mortality rate in Italy shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The rate starts at 2.1 deaths per thousand live births in 2024 and is expected to decrease steadily to 1.8 by 2028. This represents a gradual year-on-year decrease of approximately 4.76% from 2024 to 2025, remaining steady with a slower decrease rate of 0% between 2026 and 2027, and a further 5.26% reduction from 2027 to 2028. This trend highlights a positive gradual reduction in infant mortality.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of healthcare policies, advancements in neonatal care, and socioeconomic factors on infant mortality rates. Continuous efforts in areas such as maternal health education and infrastructure development could further support this declining trajectory in infant mortality, and unforeseen public health challenges could alter this trend.
