Indeed, all domestic and international organizations involved in statistical assessment of health status, health care and economic development use infant mortality rate as the basic indicator, ie the number of infants dying by 1,000 births by age 1 I will. High infant mortality in the United States has been repeatedly cited as evidence to "prove" the slump in the US health care system. In the 2008 study, three quarters of all deaths in newborns around the world are not reported at the time, like hospitals and healthcare workers, but are only counted by a 5 year retroactive household survey with low reliability I thought that I could do. In addition, infants with the lowest premature infants - the most likely deaths are least likely to be recorded in the infant and neonatal mortality statistics of other countries.

Infant mortality is the number of deaths for infants under 1 year old per 1,000 live births. This ratio is often used as an indicator of national health level. According to the CIA World Profile, the infant mortality rate of the United Nations and the world is 49.4. Due to differences in reporting, these figures may not be comparable across countries. The WHO recommendation is that all children who show signs of life should be recorded as birth. In many countries, this standard is not adhered and artificially reduces infant mortality compared to countries that comply with these standards.
