The Evolution of Mortality Rate in Serbia from 1990 to 2022

Serbia’s mortality rate declined from 24.1 in 1990 to 4.4 in 2022, reflecting improvements in healthcare infrastructure despite challenges during the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s. By 2000, the rate had dropped to 11.0, as stabilization and international support improved healthcare access.

The decline continued through the 21st century, with the rate reaching 6.6 by 2010 and 4.4 by 2022. Key factors included healthcare reforms and Serbia’s focus on reducing infant and maternal mortality. However, economic constraints and an aging population present ongoing challenges for the healthcare system.
