Analysis# Czech Republic Infant Mortality Rate
The Czech Republic recorded an infant mortality rate of 2.1 per 1,000 births in 2024, representing one of the lowest rates globally. This figure stands far below the country's peak of 21.4 per 1,000 births in 1967 and matches the all-time low achieved in 2023. Over the 64-year span from 1960 to 2024, the Czech Republic reduced its infant mortality rate by 90.1%, demonstrating sustained progress in maternal and child health outcomes.
The declining trend accelerated between 2015 and 2024, when rates fell from 2.6 to 2.1 per 1,000 births. Year-over-year improvements have been consistent, with each period from 2015 onward showing either stable or declining mortality. The stabilization at 2.1 since 2023 suggests the country has reached a performance plateau characteristic of developed nations with advanced healthcare infrastructure, indicating limited room for further reductions without significant medical innovations.
