Infant mortality in Afghanistan fell markedly after the overthrow of Taleban, with 40,000 fewer babies dying yearly. Improved women's medical care was given as the main reason for the drop in infant deaths. Preliminary results of a Johns Hopkins University study say the Infant Mortality Rate has reduced by 135 per 1,000 live births in 2006, down from an estimated 165 per 1,000 in 2001. In 2013, the infant mortality rate in Afghanistan was 119 deaths per 1,000 births. This is one of the highest rates in the world.
