Analysis# Guinea Infant Mortality Rate
Guinea's infant mortality rate stands at 59.8 per 1,000 births in 2024, marking a historic low for the country. This represents a dramatic decline from the 1960 peak of 190.7 deaths per 1,000 births—a 68.6% reduction over six decades. The current rate, while an achievement, remains elevated compared to global averages, underscoring ongoing health challenges in the region.
The past decade has shown consistent year-over-year improvement, with the rate declining from 71.2 per 1,000 births in 2015 to 59.8 in 2024. This steady downward trajectory suggests strengthening maternal and child health interventions across the country. Continued progress will depend on sustained investment in healthcare infrastructure, vaccination programs, and maternal care services.
