Turkmenistan Death Rate
Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Turkmenistan's death rate was 5.6 in 2025, ranked 178th globally. This represents a 2.9% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Turkmenistan's death rate stood at 5.6 in 2025, a decline of +0.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5.6 by 2025. Turkmenistan ranked 178th globally.
Turkmenistan’s death rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, declining from an all‑time peak of 17.36 in 1960 to a trough of 5.62 in 2025, the lowest figure recorded for the country and a ranking of 178th globally. This reduction represents a drop of more than two‑thirds and mirrors broader health improvements observed in comparable nations; for example, Tanzania posted the same 2025 rate of 5.62, while Senegal recorded a slightly lower 5.60. The long‑term downward trajectory suggests sustained gains in medical services, nutrition and disease control, although the current level remains modestly higher than Egypt’s 5.71 and Morocco’s 5.59. Continued investment in preventive care and health infrastructure will be crucial to push the rate further down, potentially moving Turkmenistan into the sub‑5 deaths per 1,000 population bracket in the coming decade.
