Figure 3.8 Infant mortality rate, 1991–2013

10/01/2015

Since 1991, there has been a significant decline in the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)44. Nationally, the infant mortality rate dropped from 50 per thousand live births in 1991 to 9.5 per thousand live births in 2013, according to the national MCH surveillance system. Between 1991 and 2013, the infant mortality rate dropped by 70 per cent in urban areas and 81 per cent in rural areas. Again, great disparities remain, as rural infant mortality rates in 2013 were 1.2 times higher than those in urban areas.
