Bolivia’s death rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, dropping from an all‑time peak of 22.70 in 1960 to a trough of 7.17 in 2023, and reaching 7.44 in 2025, which places the country at rank 108 globally. This long‑term decline reflects sustained improvements in health care, nutrition and disease control, mirroring similar progress in peer nations such as Zimbabwe, which records an identical 2025 rate of 7.44, and Togo at 7.37. The sharp reduction after the 1960s coincides with the expansion of primary health services and vaccination programmes, while the recent stabilization near the low‑seven per 1,000 inhabitants suggests that mortality gains are now incremental. Continued investment in preventive health, especially targeting non‑communicable diseases and rural health infrastructure, will be crucial to push the rate further below the current trough and sustain the downward trajectory.
