Grenada Infant Mortality Rate
Infant mortality rate per 1,000 live births SP.DYN.IMRT.IN
Grenada's infant mortality rate was 16.8 in 2025, ranked 75th globally. This represents a 0.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Grenada's infant mortality rate stood at 16.8 in 2025, a rise of +0.1 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 16.8 by 2025. Grenada ranked 75th globally.
Grenada’s infant mortality rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, moving from an all‑time peak of 60.90 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1960 to a trough of 12.90 in 2004, and reaching 16.76 in 2025, which places the nation 75th globally. The long‑term decline reflects expanding primary health care, vaccination programmes and improved maternal services, while the modest rise since the 2004 low corresponds with demographic shifts and occasional service disruptions. Compared with regional peers, Grenada’s 2025 rate is slightly higher than Trinidad and Tobago’s 16.26 and marginally lower than Bhutan’s 17.20, indicating that the country remains near the middle of the Caribbean and lower‑income comparator group. Continued investment in neonatal intensive care, rural outreach and nutrition monitoring could reinforce the downward trajectory and bring Grenada’s infant mortality closer to the sub‑15 benchmark achieved by its best‑performing peers.
