Infant Mortality Rate: Grenada

Analysis# Grenada Infant Mortality Rate Grenada's infant mortality rate stood at 16.4 per 1,000 births in 2024, representing a dramatic 73.1% decline since 1960, when the rate peaked at 60.9 per 1,000 births. The country achieved its lowest recorded rate of 12.9 per 1,000 births in 2003, demonstrating substantial progress in child health over six decades. The current figure remains elevated compared to that historical low. Since 2015, Grenada's rate has fluctuated between 15.7 and 17.0 per 1,000 births, showing relative stability without consistent improvement. The rate reached 17.0 in both 2020 and 2021 before declining slightly to 16.4 by 2024. Recent stability near 16.4 suggests the country has plateaued after decades of gains, indicating that further reductions will require targeted public health interventions beyond the progress already achieved.
