The infant mortality rate in South Africa saw no significant changes in 2022 in comparison to the previous year 2021 and remained at around 27.7 deaths per 1,000 live births. But still, the infant mortality rate reached its lowest value of the observation period in 2022. The infant mortality rate is the number of newborns who do not survive past the first 12 months of life. This is generally expressed as a value per 1,000 live births, and also includes neonatal mortality (deaths within the first 28 days of life).
