Mortality Rate in United Arab Emirates from 1990 to 2022

The UAE's mortality rate fell dramatically from 11.6 in 1990 to 4.3 in 2022, driven by the country’s rapid economic growth and modernization. The 1990s saw a consistent decline due to substantial investments in healthcare systems, reflecting in reduced child mortality rates. By 2000, the rate had dropped to 8.4, thanks to improved sanitation, maternal health programs, and the adoption of advanced medical technologies.

From 2000 onward, the UAE continued to enhance healthcare access, with a marked focus on preventive care and awareness campaigns. By 2010, the mortality rate reached 7.0, reflecting broader socio-economic gains. The steady reduction to 4.3 in 2022 demonstrates the success of policies targeting population health, particularly for expatriates and rural communities. Despite this progress, non-communicable diseases and lifestyle-related health risks pose challenges.
