The Evolution of Mortality Rate in Brunei from 1990 to 2022

Brunei's mortality rate exhibited relative stability, declining marginally from 10.2 in 1990 to 8.5 in 2022. The 1990s saw a gradual improvement as healthcare systems modernized, but the decline slowed after 2000. By 2010, the rate was 8.1, reflecting the high standard of medical services available in this small, affluent nation.

However, from 2010 onwards, the mortality rate plateaued, hovering around 8.6. This consistency underscores Brunei’s effective healthcare system but also highlights challenges such as addressing non-communicable diseases and aging demographics, which require long-term health strategies.
