Analysis# Morocco Infant Mortality Rate
Morocco's infant mortality rate stands at 14.7 deaths per 1,000 births in 2024, representing a historic low for the country. This figure marks a dramatic 90.3% reduction from the 1960 peak of 151.1 per 1,000 births. The sustained improvement reflects decades of progress in maternal and child health across North Africa's most populous nation.
The downward trajectory accelerated significantly after 2015, when the rate was 21.4 per 1,000 births. Over the following nine years, Morocco achieved consistent annual declines, dropping to 14.7 by 2024—a reduction of 6.7 deaths per 1,000 births in less than a decade. This steady pace of improvement suggests ongoing investments in healthcare infrastructure and child welfare continue to yield measurable results, positioning Morocco among the region's leaders in infant survival rates.
