At around 6 per 1000, compared to 4.3 for the UK (or 2.7 for Japan) for example.
I would imagine, infant mortality isn’t just about a function of healthcare available during pregnancy, but also for the parent before pregnancy. There could of course be multiple other confounding factors (such as life style issues)...
- lallysingh 8y agoWould life style issues be a major difference between here and the UK or Japan?
- dantheman 8y agoHow countries count infant mortality is not the same. So it's very hard to compare numbers.
