SHOCKER: ESWATINI’S LIFE EXPECTANCY TO DROP TO 57

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

MBABANE – Shocking statistics reveal that an average liSwati will not live beyond the age of 57 years.

This is contained in recent statistics released by Business Insiders Africa. Business Insiders Africa is a leading Pan-African news provider. Eswatini is ranked seventh among the top 10 African countries expected to have low life expectancy. According to Business Insiders Africa, Eswatini’s life expectancy is projected to be 57.71 years in the coming years. This means the life expectancy is expected to be lower than the current 2023 statistics showing a life expectancy of 61.05 years. In 2023, the country’s life expectancy increased by 0.57 per cent from 2022, which was 60.70 years, a 0.58 per cent increase from 2021. The life expectancy for Eswatini in 2021 was 60.35 years, a 0.58 per cent increase from 2020.

Sobering

According to Business Insiders Africa, the 10 African countries’ life expectancy statistics painted a sobering picture of the difficulties their citizens encountered. The low life expectancy is attributed to high rates of infectious diseases, limited access to quality healthcare, and socio-economic disparities that contribute to shorter lifespans. It has been stated that some nations on the continent continued to struggle with significant challenges, particularly in the field of public health. Business Insiders Africa also stated that such countries still had life expectancy which remained notably low and thus influenced by a combination of factors, including the accessibility of healthcare, the stability of their economies, and the effectiveness of public health initiatives. Tragically, children born in three African countries, Chad, Nigeria and Lesotho, face the sobering possibility of not reaching their 55th birthday. In six other African nations, a similar fate awaits individuals before they reach the age of 60.
