The Evolution of Mortality Rate in Mozambique from 1990 to 2022

Mozambique’s mortality rate fell from a high of 162 in 1990 to 48.7 in 2022, reflecting substantial progress in healthcare access and disease control. The steep decline from 162 to 112.9 by 2000 is attributed to international aid and efforts to combat malaria and improve maternal health.

By 2010, the rate had dropped further to 71.0, thanks to expanded vaccination coverage and improved healthcare delivery systems. By 2022, the rate reached 48.7, but Mozambique still faces challenges such as high rates of infectious diseases and limited rural healthcare infrastructure.
