The Evolution of Mortality Rate in Colombia from 1990 to 2022

Colombia’s mortality rate decreased steadily from 29.3 in 1990 to 10.6 in 2022, reflecting substantial improvements in public health. The 1990s saw a consistent decline to 21.2 by 2000, driven by expanded vaccination programs and better maternal and child health services.

From 2000 onward, the rate continued to drop, reaching 15.7 by 2010 and 11.0 by 2021. Key factors include enhanced healthcare coverage and reductions in preventable diseases. By 2022, Colombia achieved a record-low rate of 10.6, though disparities in healthcare access across socio-economic groups remain a challenge.
