Most deaths of children under five occur in India, says Unicef report
This is another ranking that India would hate to top.
Close on the heels of recording the largest number of women dying during childbirth, the country now occupies another top spot. India holds the unenviable record of being home to the highest number of children who die before reaching their fifth birthday.
According to the latest United Nations under-five mortality estimates, released by Unicef, India recorded 17.26 lakh under-five deaths with a mortality rate of 66 in 2009.
The statistics were much worse in 1990 – the base year when the progress made by countries to combat child mortality is calculated.
In 1990, India had recorded 31 lakh under-five deaths, with a mortality rate of 118.
The under-five mortality is increasingly concentrated in a few countries. About half of global under-five deaths in 2009 occurred in only five countries: India, Nigeria, Congo, Pakistan, and China.
