The report revealed more children are surviving today than ever before, with the global under-5 mortality rate declining by 51% since 2000.
The number of children who died before the age of 5 across the world reached a historic low in 2022, dropping to 4.9 million, according to thelatest report from the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation .
For example, the findings showed that Cambodia, Mongolia, Uzbekistan and Rwanda have reduced under-5 mortality rates by over 75% since 2000. “Where a child is born should not dictate whether they live or die. It is critical to improve access to quality health services for every woman and child, including during emergencies and in remote areas,” said World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in a statement. UN IGME credits this historic drop in child mortality rates to the sustained commitment of governments, organizations, local communities, health care professionals and families.
