The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is a vital health indicator that measures the number of deaths of infants under one year of age per 1,000 live births in a given year. It reflects the overall health and well-being of a population, as well as the quality of healthcare services, nutrition, and living conditions.

Key Causes of Infant Mortality:

• Premature birth and low birth weight
• Birth complications
• Infections (pneumonia, sepsis)
• Malnutrition
• Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
• Lack of access to quality healthcare

Importance of IMR:

• Reflects the effectiveness of maternal and child healthcare services.
• Helps governments and organizations identify health disparities.
• Lower IMR indicates better healthcare, nutrition, and living conditions.

Reducing IMR involves improving prenatal and postnatal care, ensuring access to vaccinations, proper nutrition, and clean water, and enhancing healthcare services for mothers and infants.
