Analysis# Chad Infant Mortality Rate
Chad's infant mortality rate stands at 56.3 deaths per 1,000 births in 2024, representing a dramatic improvement from the 1960 peak of 142.4. Over six decades, the country has reduced its rate by 60.5 percent, though the current figure remains substantially higher than global averages. This sustained decline reflects decades of gradual progress in healthcare access and maternal care, even amid significant development challenges.
The most striking gains emerged between 2015 and 2024, when Chad lowered its rate from 72.1 to 56.3—a 21.8 percent reduction in just nine years. This accelerating downward trend suggests strengthened investment in child health interventions and disease prevention. If current momentum continues, Chad's infant mortality rate may reach new historic lows in coming years, though sustained commitment to healthcare infrastructure will prove essential for further advancement.
