Analysis# Chile Infant Mortality Rate
Chile's infant mortality rate stands at 5.8 per 1,000 births in 2024, representing one of the lowest levels in Latin America. This figure marks a dramatic 95.3% decline since 1960, when the rate peaked at 123.7 per 1,000 births. The country reached its historical low of 5.8 in 2020 and has maintained this achievement through 2024, demonstrating sustained progress in child health outcomes over six decades.
The most significant improvements occurred between 1960 and 2000, during which Chile transformed its healthcare infrastructure and expanded maternal and child health services. Since 2015, the rate has stabilized between 5.8 and 6.8 per 1,000 births, indicating that Chile has reached a plateau characteristic of developed nations. The minimal fluctuations in recent years suggest the country has established robust health systems capable of maintaining these gains consistently.
