The Changing Death Rate in Algeria from 1990 to 2022

Algeria’s death rate demonstrated a significant decline from 5.7 in 1990 to 4.3 in 2022, reflecting improvements in healthcare and living conditions over the decades. This positive trend was interrupted in 2020 when the death rate surged to 5.4 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected both the healthcare system and vulnerable populations. Despite this spike, the overall trend from the mid-2000s has been downward, driven by healthcare reforms, better disease prevention programs, and increased life expectancy. In 2021, the death rate returned to 4.5, showing signs of recovery, and by 2022, it decreased further to 4.3. This sustained improvement highlights Algeria's ongoing efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and public health.
