Infant Mortality Rate
Infant Mortality Rate pertains to the number of deaths occurring among live-born infants under one year of age in a given population, expressed as a rate per 1000 live births. It is a critical indicator of public health and social welfare, with lower rates generally reflecting better health care, nutrition, and living conditions. People working in the field of humanitarianism often strive to reduce infant mortality rates through various interventions, such as improving access to healthcare services, promoting breastfeeding, and reducing exposure to harmful environmental factors. Infant Mortality Rate is a measure that reflects the overall health and well-being of a population, making it an important area of focus for humanitarians, policymakers, and healthcare professionals alike.
