Infant mortality in Africa refers to the number of deaths of infants under one year of age per 1,000 live births in a given year. As of recent statistics, Africa has some of the highest infant mortality rates in the world, largely due to factors such as inadequate healthcare, malnutrition, Infectious Diseases, and lack of access to clean water. Efforts to reduce these rates focus on improving maternal health, enhancing healthcare infrastructure, and increasing access to vaccinations and nutritious food. Progress is being made, but significant challenges remain in many regions.
