Analysis# Madagascar Infant Mortality Rate
Madagascar's infant mortality rate stands at 43 per 1,000 births in 2024, representing a historic low for the country. Since 1972, the rate has declined 47.7%, falling from 82 per 1,000 births to its current level. The nation's peak mortality rate of 174 per 1,000 births in 1982 underscores the dramatic progress made over the past four decades.
The recent trend from 2015 to 2024 reveals stabilization around the 43–44 range after decades of steep decline. Year-over-year fluctuations remain minimal, with the rate hovering between 43 and 44.4 across this nine-year period. This plateau at the current low suggests Madagascar has reached a natural floor in infant mortality reduction, barring significant healthcare infrastructure improvements or public health interventions that might drive further gains.
