Over the past 65 years, Brazil's infant mortality rate has fallen from 136 deaths per thousand live births in 1955, to less than one tenth of this level in 2020. In 1955, this meant that almost fourteen percent of all newborns were not expected to make it to their first birthday, whereas this number is just 1.3 percent today. The driving forces behind this decrease is improved access to medical care (particularly vaccination) as well as improved sanitation, quality of life and education.
