Analysis# Antigua and Barbuda Infant Mortality Rate
Antigua and Barbuda's infant mortality rate stands at 7 per 1,000 births in 2024, marking a historic low for the nation. Since 1960, when the rate peaked at 62.2 per 1,000 births, the country has achieved an 88.7% reduction—a dramatic improvement in child survival over six decades. This current figure positions Antigua and Barbuda among nations with strong maternal and child health outcomes in the Caribbean region.
The downward trajectory accelerated noticeably from 2015 onward. Over the nine-year period from 2015 to 2024, the rate declined steadily from 8.6 to 7 per 1,000 births, reflecting consistent annual decreases. The sustained momentum suggests continued investment in healthcare infrastructure and preventive services. Maintaining this improvement will depend on sustained public health commitment and access to quality maternal and neonatal care.
