The Changing Death Rate in Côte d'Ivoire from 1990 to 2022

Côte d'Ivoire has witnessed a steady decline in its death rate over the past three decades, from 13.9 deaths per 1,000 people in 1990 to 8.8 in 2022. This decline can be attributed to improvements in healthcare access, disease prevention programs, and socioeconomic development. The country made significant strides in reducing mortality from infectious diseases and improving maternal and child health. Despite the downward trend, the death rate experienced minor fluctuations due to political instability and public health challenges, particularly around the early 2000s. The recent increase in 2020, partially due to the pandemic, disrupted the long-term positive trend. Nevertheless, Côte d'Ivoire's improving healthcare infrastructure continues to contribute to a lower mortality rate.
