Analysis# Nauru Infant Mortality Rate
Nauru's infant mortality rate stands at 7.7 per 1,000 births in 2024, representing a historic low for the island nation. The rate has plummeted 89.5% since 1985, when it peaked at 73.4 per 1,000 births. This dramatic improvement reflects decades of progress in maternal and child health outcomes across the Pacific nation.
The consistent downward trend accelerated markedly after 2015, dropping from 16.2 per 1,000 births to the current 7.7 in nine years. Annual reductions have remained steady throughout this period, averaging approximately 1 per 1,000 births annually. With Nauru's mortality rate now matching its historical low and showing no signs of reversal, the trajectory suggests sustained investment in healthcare infrastructure and prenatal services continues to yield measurable gains.
