Overview
Turks and Caicos Islands's infant mortality rate stood at 3.7 in 2025, a decline of +0.3 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 3.7 by 2025. Turks and Caicos Islands ranked 155th globally.
The Turks and Caicos Islands have reduced infant mortality from a peak of 75.60 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1966 to a trough of 3.74 in 2025, placing the territory at rank 155 globally. This decline represents a 95 percent reduction over 59 years and brings the Islands’ rate within a narrow band of high‑income peers: Croatia records 3.82, China 3.70 and New Zealand 3.88 deaths per 1,000 live births. The sustained improvement reflects expanded prenatal care, vaccination programmes and investment in neonatal facilities, while the small population size amplifies the impact of each health intervention. Nevertheless, the current level remains slightly above the lowest regional figure, suggesting further gains are possible through continued emphasis on maternal nutrition, rural health outreach and data‑driven resource allocation. Maintaining these policies is likely to keep the infant mortality rate on a downward trajectory in the coming decade.
