The child mortality rate in Portugal, for children under the age of five, was 373 deaths per thousand births in 1890. Out of one thousand babies born in 1890, over 37 percent did not survive past their fifth birthday. Over the course of the next 135 years, this number has dropped drastically, falling to just three deaths per thousand births in the 2015 to 2020 period. The period with the largest increase in Portugal's child mortality rate was in the 1910s, as a result of the Spanish Flu pandemic that swept across the globe.
