Overview
Bahrain's death rate stood at 2.1 in 2025, a rise of +0.0 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2.1 by 2025. Bahrain ranked 212th globally.
Bahrain’s death rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, dropping from an all‑time peak of 16.28 in 1960 to a trough of 1.98 in 2016 before rising slightly to 2.13 in 2025, placing the kingdom at rank 212 globally. The steep decline reflects improvements in healthcare access, vaccination coverage and chronic disease management that accompanied rapid socioeconomic development in the latter half of the twentieth century. By contrast, neighboring Oman records a slightly lower rate of 2.05, while the Maldives sits at 2.22, illustrating that Bahrain remains marginally above some Gulf peers but below others such as Saudi Arabia (2.54). The modest uptick since 2016 may be linked to an ageing population and the growing prevalence of non‑communicable diseases, suggesting that further reductions will depend on continued investment in preventive health programmes and the management of lifestyle‑related risk factors.
