2. Singapore 

Total Deaths per 1,000 Live Births: 1.5  

Singapore stands second among the countries with lowest rates of infant mortality, with approximately 1.5 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2023. Over the years, the nation has shown significant progress in child health outcomes, with a notable decline from about 8 in 1,000 infants in 1980 to about 2 in 1,000 infants in 2008. Common reasons for infant deaths include neonatal and post-neonatal causes, and Singapore’s success is attributed to its commitment to improving healthcare for its youngest citizens.
