Analysis# Kazakhstan Infant Mortality Rate
Kazakhstan's infant mortality rate stands at 7.4 per 1,000 births in 2024, representing a historic low and a dramatic reversal from the peak of 76.3 per 1,000 births recorded in 1971. Over five decades, the country has achieved a 90.3% reduction in infant mortality, reflecting sustained improvements in healthcare infrastructure, maternal care, and living standards across the nation.
The decline has accelerated in recent years. From 2015 to 2024, the rate fell from 9.5 to 7.4 per 1,000 births—a 22% drop in just nine years. This consistent downward trajectory suggests Kazakhstan's public health investments continue to yield measurable results, positioning the country among nations with comparatively low infant mortality rates in Central Asia and the broader region.
