Analysis# Pakistan Infant Mortality Rate
Pakistan's infant mortality rate stands at 48.2 per 1,000 births in 2024, marking a historic low for the country. This represents a dramatic 71.4% decline from the peak of 168.3 deaths per 1,000 births recorded in 1960. The sustained downward trajectory over six decades reflects substantial improvements in maternal and child health outcomes, though the current rate remains higher than many regional peers.
The most striking progress has occurred in recent years. From 2015 to 2024, the rate fell consistently year-over-year, dropping from 63.6 to 48.2 per 1,000 births—a decline of approximately one death per 1,000 births annually. This accelerating trend suggests Pakistan's health infrastructure and maternal care initiatives are yielding measurable results, positioning the country on a continued path of improvement.
