Chart Details
Data Source: World Development Indicators.
Timeframe: 1990-2022
Country: South Africa
Published date: 2024
Note: The death rate, as defined by World Development Indicators, measures the number of deaths in a given population during a specific time period, usually expressed as deaths per 1,000 individuals per year.
Key Takeaways
South Africa's death rate rose significantly from 8.0 in 1990 to a peak of 13.2 in 2005 due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, which caused widespread mortality. Enhanced access to antiretroviral treatments and healthcare improvements led to a decline to 8.6 by 2019.

The rate spiked to 11.4 in 2021 and 12.0 in 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting additional strain on healthcare systems already dealing with chronic disease burdens. The pandemic's effects underscore the need for sustained health interventions.
