Infant Mortality Rate

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.

Causes of infant mortality rate in India include inadequate access to healthcare services, malnutrition, poor sanitation and hygiene practices, lack of education and awareness among parents, and limited resources in rural areas. Additionally, factors such as preterm birth, birth defects, and infections also contribute to the high infant mortality rate in India.

As of 2020, the infant mortality rate in the United States was 5.5 deaths per 1,000 live births. This rate has been gradually declining over the years due to advancements in healthcare and public health initiatives.

Infant mortality refers to the death of a newborn baby before their first birthday. It is a critical indicator of a population's overall health and well-being. Factors such as access to healthcare, nutrition, maternal health, and socioeconomic status can greatly impact infant mortality rates.

The mortality rate for patients undergoing pancreatectomy procedures can vary depending on the type and complexity of the procedure, as well as the overall health and condition of the patient. However, the mortality rate is generally considered to be around 2-5%.

Infant mortality is how many children die before the age of 5. It is measured by Amount of children dying per 1000 people.

A low infant mortality rate is common in more developed countries where health care and simple things such as diet are good.

However a high infant mortality rate would be common in underdeveloped countries which have bad health care and food is hard to get hold of. Generally countries in Africa will have a high infant mortality rate as the countries are poorer.

So a high/large infant mortality rate is basically a lot of children dying before the age of five per 1000 people.

there was no infant mortanlity rate lolz

deaths under 1 year of age/ number of live births x 1000

No, it has one of the highest.....

The country with the lowest mortality rate, as far as I know, is Singapore, with 2.7 deaths per 1000 births. It is followed by Sweden, Japan and Hong Kong, all of them with less than 3 deaths per 1000 births.

The infant mortality rate of Iceland is 2.89 out of 1000, the 2nd lowest in the world.

Around all the Favelas in Brazil a recent survey (january 2013) we have found out that roughly 340 children die

The infant mortality rate in Zambia is 70 death per 1000 live births.

In 2008, 43 infants died per 1000 live births.

10.7 births/1,000 population

11.0 deaths/1,000 population

44/1000 population

34/1000 this year, and in the 50s in recent years, estimates the CIA world fact book, although I've seen as high as the 70s on other internet sources. I'm guessing in reality it is much higher due to under reporting in the countryside. The fact that child marriages (a major contribution to IMR) is still practiced illegally in many parts of the country shows how accurately the government can survey the vast rural populace.

In 2008, the estimated data is 52 infants died per 1000 live births. 30.15 deaths per 1000 live birth

All most all developing countries have malnutrition and under nutrition of mother and child. Due to poor hygiene they suffer repeated attacks of diarrhea, pneumonia and measles and other infectious diseases. So they have high infant mortality rate.

Mortality means to die.

Everyone in every country dies, so all countries have 100% mortality rate.

According to the CIA World Factbook's 2007 estimates, Angola has the highest infant mortality rate, at 184.44 deaths per 1,000 live births. According to the 2006 United Nations World Population Prospects report, Sierra Leone has the highest infant mortality rate, at 160.3 deaths per 1,000 live births.
