Analysis# Poland Infant Mortality Rate
Poland's infant mortality rate stands at 3.6 per 1,000 births in 2024, marking an historic low and representing a remarkable 93.8% decline since 1960, when the rate peaked at 57.8 per 1,000 births. This dramatic improvement reflects decades of advances in healthcare infrastructure, maternal care, and living standards across the country. The current rate places Poland among Europe's better-performing nations in child survival.
The downward trajectory accelerated notably from the 1990s onward, coinciding with Poland's health system modernization and EU integration. Recent data from 2015 to 2024 shows consistent year-over-year improvements, declining from 4.2 to 3.6 per 1,000 births. The sustained reduction demonstrates that Poland has achieved and maintained one of its lowest infant mortality rates on record, with no indication of reversal in sight.
