Analysis# Thailand Infant Mortality Rate
Thailand's infant mortality rate reached 7.7 per 1,000 births in 2024, marking an extraordinary 93.2% decline since 1960, when the rate stood at 113.3. The country has achieved its lowest recorded level in the current data series, demonstrating sustained progress in child health outcomes over six decades. From a public health standpoint, this trajectory reflects dramatic improvements in medical access, nutrition, and maternal care across the nation.
The recent decade shows consistent annual improvements, with the rate declining steadily from 10.1 per 1,000 births in 2015 to the current 7.7—dropping approximately 0.3 points yearly. This unbroken downward trend suggests Thailand's health infrastructure continues to strengthen, positioning the country among regional leaders in infant survival rates. Barring significant disruptions, further gradual reductions appear likely in coming years.
