The forecast for neonatal deaths in Canada from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend, moving from 1.25 million in 2024 to 1.21 million in 2028. Compared to 2023, where the actual data stood at 1.26 million neonatal deaths, there is a steady year-on-year decline of approximately 0.8%, consistent with the preceding two years. The anticipated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is around -0.8% annually, indicating a gradual decrease in neonatal mortality rates.
Future trends to watch include advancements in healthcare technology, improved maternal and neonatal care practices, and policy changes aimed at reducing infant mortality rates. These factors could contribute to continuing the positive trend in reducing neonatal deaths in Canada.
