In 2023, India's Under 5 Mortality Rate was at 27.0 deaths per thousand live births. As we enter 2024, projections indicate a decline, with the rate expected to drop to 25.3. The forecast shows a continuous decrease over the next few years, reaching 18.4 by 2028. Year-on-year percentage change reveals a consistent improvement in child mortality rates, attributed to better healthcare access, vaccination programs, and public health initiatives.
