Analysis# Cyprus Infant Mortality Rate
Cyprus recorded an infant mortality rate of 4.1 per 1,000 births in 2024, reflecting substantial progress over five decades. Since 1971, when the rate peaked at 34.3 per 1,000 births, Cyprus has achieved an 88.0% reduction in infant mortality. The country reached its historic low of 2.1 per 1,000 births in 2015, demonstrating the effectiveness of healthcare improvements and maternal care advances.
A notable reversal began around 2015, marking a shift from sustained decline to gradual increase. The rate remained stable at 2.1 through 2016, then rose steadily—climbing from 2.7 in 2020 to 4.1 in 2024. This recent upward trajectory warrants monitoring, though Cyprus's current rate remains among Europe's lowest and vastly improved compared to historical levels.
