Infant mortality rate per 1,000 live births SP.DYN.IMRT.IN
Tajikistan's infant mortality rate was 22.8 in 2025, ranked 59th globally. This represents a 0.5% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1972–2025.
Overview
Tajikistan's infant mortality rate stood at 22.8 in 2025, a decline of +0.1 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 22.8 by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 59th globally.
Tajikistan's Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) has witnessed a significant decline over the past five decades, transforming from the highest in the country's history in 1972 with 113.70 deaths per 1,000 live births to a relatively modest 22.78 in 2025, ranking 59th globally. This substantial reduction is largely attributed to improvements in healthcare infrastructure, sanitation, and public health policies. Notably, South Africa's IMR, a peer country, was a mere 23.68 in 2025, while Guyana's IMR stood at 22.18, indicating that Tajikistan has made considerable strides in reducing infant mortality. The country's progress is a testament to its efforts in expanding access to healthcare services, particularly in rural areas. As Tajikistan continues to invest in healthcare infrastructure and public health initiatives, a further decline in IMR is anticipated, potentially bringing it closer to the global average. However, persistent challenges in rural healthcare and limited access to quality medical care may hinder the country's progress.
