The Evolution of Mortality Rate in Italy from 1990 to 2022

Italy's mortality rate declined steadily from 8.4 in 1990 to 2.2 in 2022, showcasing advancements in healthcare infrastructure and public health initiatives. By 2000, the rate had fallen to 4.7, largely due to improved maternal and child healthcare services and the widespread adoption of preventive measures. These improvements coincided with significant investments in healthcare under the European Union's development programs.

Post-2000, the decline continued, albeit at a slower pace, with the rate reaching 2.2 by 2022. This reflects the maturity of Italy’s healthcare system, known for its emphasis on universal access and advanced medical technologies. The aging population remains a pressing challenge, despite the nation’s success in managing mortality.
