Ethiopia experienced significant progress in life expectancy, rising from 45 years in 1990 to 66 years by 2022. Improvements during the 2000s were driven by expanded immunization programs, efforts to reduce child and maternal mortality, and initiatives targeting infectious diseases like malaria. The increase from 50 years in 1997 to 60 years in 2010 highlights the impact of international aid and government health reforms. Continued focus on healthcare infrastructure has sustained these gains despite ongoing challenges.
