The death rate in the Philippines declined from 6.8 in 1990 to 5.6 in 2020, driven by improvements in public health, vaccination campaigns, and better access to medical care. The decline plateaued after 2000, indicating sustained but slower progress.
The rate briefly surged to 7.3 in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected healthcare delivery and increased mortality. However, the rate returned to 5.6 in 2022, reflecting recovery and the resilience of the healthcare system.
