The Evolution of Mortality Rate in Croatia from 1990 to 2022

Croatia's mortality rate fell from 11.2 in 1990 to 3.9 in 2022, demonstrating continuous improvements in healthcare. The sharpest decline occurred during the 1990s, with the rate dropping to 7.2 by 2000. This progress was achieved despite challenges posed by the Croatian War of Independence, as post-war rebuilding included significant investments in healthcare systems.

From 2000 onward, the rate declined steadily, reaching 3.9 by 2022. This reflects the success of Croatia’s integration into the European Union, which facilitated access to advanced medical technologies and healthcare reforms.
