Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's death rate stood at 4.7 in 2025, a decline of +0.3 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 4.7 by 2025. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 199th globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s death rate has fallen dramatically from an all‑time peak of 16.64 in 1960 to a trough of 3.74 in 2007, reflecting sustained improvements in health care, sanitation and conflict‑related mortality declines. By 2025 the rate stood at 4.71, placing the country 199th globally and closely aligned with peers such as Zambia (4.74) and Uganda (4.60). The 65‑year coverage shows a long‑term downward trajectory, yet the recent figure remains modestly above the 2007 low, suggesting that the post‑trough period has seen a slight reversal, possibly linked to renewed economic pressures and intermittent instability. Continued investment in primary health services, expanded vaccination programmes and stable governance could consolidate the gains achieved since the early 2000s and push the death rate further toward the lower end of the regional distribution.
