Nigeria has one of the world's highest under-five mortality rates, recently estimated at 104.9 to 115 deaths per 1,000 live births as of early 2026. Often cited as the highest or second-highest globally, this high rate means roughly 1 in 8 or 1 in 9 Nigerian children may not reach their fifth birthday.
Approximately 41% of deaths among Nigerian children under five are estimated to be vaccine-preventable.
