All countries do their best, and Sweden seems to be the most successful country at the moment [0]. Neonatal mortality rate in Sweden was 1.38 per thousand in 2019, compared to 1.4 in Norwy, 2.77 in the UK and 3.7 in the US [1]. But you are right that the rate of premature births is higher in the US than most European countries (10-15% in the Us compared to <10% in Europe) [2], and so is the rate of very preterm births (14.1 per thousand in the US compared to 8.3 in Norway, 7.7 in Sweden and 6.7 in Finland) [3]. It is likely that the rate of premature births is also a sign of the quality of maternal care. The rate of still birth in 2009 in the US was 2.95/1000 compared to 2.74 in Sweden and 2.2 in Norwy [4] That the statistics of neonatal deaths are manipulated is also a bold claim, it deserves some references?
