Analysis# Turkmenistan Infant Mortality Rate
Turkmenistan's infant mortality rate stands at 30.4 per 1,000 births in 2024, representing a historic low for the country. Since 1977, when the rate peaked at 118.9 per 1,000 births, Turkmenistan has achieved a 74.4% decline in infant mortality. This dramatic improvement reflects decades of progress in healthcare infrastructure and child survival outcomes across Central Asia.
The most significant gains occurred between 1977 and the early 2000s, when mortality rates fell sharply. Recent years show continued, steady improvement: the rate declined from 33.9 in 2015 to 30.4 in 2024, with consistent annual decreases averaging approximately 0.4 points annually since 2020. Maintaining this downward trajectory will require sustained investment in maternal and neonatal healthcare services.
