Swaziland – Health Outcomes

Swaziland-Life Expectancy: A Global Perspective

When it comes to life expectancy over the last 70 years, the world has made big improvement. People around the globe are living longer. For example, in 1950, the worldwide average life expectancy of a newborn was 47 years. By 2021, this had changed to 71 years. Nevertheless, only small improvement was achieved in most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.For example, life expectancy in Swaziland increased from 36 years in 1960 to 62 in 2022. In contrast, life expectancy increased four-fold in South Korea, during this period, increasing from 54 years in 1960 to 83 years in 2022 .

Swaziland-Mortality rates, under -5 ( per 1000 live births): A Global Perspective

Since 1950, child mortality rates in the world had fallen substantially due better living standards, better health care, nutrition, and access to safe drinking. Child mortality in the richest countries in Europe and America had fallen substantially to less than 4 percent. Similarly, during the last 70 years, most developing countries in South America, Asia and Africa have also seen substantial improvements. Nevertheless, the improvements had been slow in most Sub-Saharan African countries. For example, in 1980, Swaziland  and South Korea had about the same child mortality rates at 34.1% and 34.9%, respectively. But in 2022 the child mortality rates for Swaziland and South Korea stood at 6.4% and 0.3%, respectively.
