Analysis# Cambodia Infant Mortality Rate
Cambodia's infant mortality rate stands at 16.4 deaths per 1,000 births in 2024, representing a historic low for the country. This figure reflects a dramatic 93.5% reduction from the peak of 253.1 deaths per 1,000 births recorded in 1976, when the nation faced severe humanitarian crisis. The steady descent over nearly five decades marks one of the most significant health improvements in Southeast Asia.
The decline has accelerated in recent years, with Cambodia dropping from 25.8 deaths per 1,000 births in 2015 to 16.4 in 2024. This consistent year-over-year improvement demonstrates sustained progress in maternal and child healthcare access, vaccination coverage, and nutrition. The ongoing downward trajectory suggests Cambodia continues strengthening health infrastructure and services, positioning the nation favorably for further reductions in child mortality rates.
