Analysis# Mali Infant Mortality Rate
Mali's infant mortality rate stands at 47.5 deaths per 1,000 births in 2024, representing a dramatic improvement from the 1966 peak of 205 per 1,000 births. This 76.8% reduction over nearly six decades reflects substantial progress in child health outcomes across the West African nation. The current figure matches the all-time low, indicating Mali has reached a significant milestone in its public health trajectory.
The most striking trend emerges from 2015 onward, when the rate accelerated its decline from 66.1 to 47.5 over nine years—an average drop of approximately 2 deaths per 1,000 births annually. This consistent downward momentum suggests sustained improvements in maternal care, vaccination programs, and healthcare access. If the present trajectory continues, Mali's infant mortality rate will remain among its lowest recorded levels.
