Mortality Rate in Cameroon from 1990 to 2022

Cameroon experienced fluctuations in its mortality rate, starting at 84.9 in 1990, peaking at 90.8 in the late 1990s, and then gradually declining to 47.0 in 2022. The initial rise was linked to limited healthcare access and the spread of HIV/AIDS, which severely strained resources during the 1990s.

Following 2000, sustained international support and government-led health interventions helped reverse the trend, with the rate dropping to 68.8 by 2010. Programs addressing maternal health and infectious diseases contributed significantly to this progress. By 2022, the mortality rate reached 47.0, reflecting improved access to healthcare, though rural areas still face significant barriers.
