Analysis# Myanmar Infant Mortality Rate
Myanmar's infant mortality rate stands at 32.8 per 1,000 births in 2024, representing a dramatic 74.3% decline from its 1968 peak of 127.5 per 1,000 births. The country has achieved its lowest recorded rate in the current data series, marking a sustained improvement over five and a half decades. This trajectory reflects significant progress in child health and maternal care across the nation.
The downward trend has accelerated in recent years. Between 2015 and 2024, the rate fell from 44.1 to 32.8 per 1,000 births—a drop of 11.3 points in just nine years. Each year from 2015 onward shows consistent annual declines, with no reversals recorded. This sustained momentum suggests Myanmar's health infrastructure improvements and expanded access to medical services continue to yield measurable results for infant survival.
