Child Mortality
Child mortality is an important public health indicator and refers to the number of children aged under five who die each year. It is a measure of the mortality rate of infants, children and adolescents and can be used to assess the overall health and development of a population. Child mortality is a valuable indicator of socio-economic development and can be used to identify areas of need that may require interventions to improve health outcomes. Reducing child mortality has been a major global health goal and is linked to improvements in access to health care and nutrition, as well as economic development. To reduce child mortality, it is essential to address multiple aspects such as poverty, malnutrition, infectious diseases and access to health care.
