It also defines infant mortality rate, neonatal mortality rate, stillbirth rate, and under-five mortality rate. The key points are: India has the highest number of child deaths in the world, with 1.2 million in 2015. Pneumonia, diarrhea, congenital abnormalities, and hemorrhagic diseases are the top causes of child deaths in India. Reducing poverty and improving child and maternal health are important goals to reduce mortality rates.

    CHILD MORBIDITY AND

    MORTALITY RATE
    A. CHILD
    MORBIDITY
    • Deviation from a state of physical or mental well-being as a
    result of disease, injury or impairment.
    • In a given population morbidity for a given time, may be
    measured in terms of incidence, in terms of prevalence.
    Total no. of new cases of
    illness during a defined
    period
    Incidence rate =
    Population exposed to risk
    in the same period
    PREVALENCE
    • Prevalence Indicates how common is an event in a
    population.
    • It is used to measure the frequency of an illness in
    existence during a defined period.
    • It includes all the cases in the defined period, new and
    old case, during the same period
    Total no.of new and old
    cases found during a
    Prevalence specified period
    rate =
    Population exposed to risk at
    the same period
    B.MORTALITY RATE

    • INFANT MORTALITY RATE: it is the


    number of infant deaths under one year
    of age per 1000live births in one year.
    NUMBER OF DEATHS
    UNDER ONE YEAR OF AGE

    IMR = 1000
    Total live birth in the
    year
    NEONATAL MORTALITY RATE

    No. Of deaths under 28


    days of age
    NMR = 1000

    Total live births


    FETAL DEATHS
    WEIGHING OVER
    1000GMS AT BIRTH
    1000
    Still birth=
    Total live
    + still births weighing
    over 1000gms at birth
    • globally the under-five child mortality
    had reduced only by 48 per cent…
    whereas in India by 2013 we had
    reduced the under-five child mortality
    by 61 per cent,”
    • India has the highest number of child
    deaths in the world, with an estimated
    1.2 million deaths in 2015 — 20 per cent
    of the 5.9 million global deaths.
    The fourth Millennium Development Goal
    (MDG-4) aimed to reduce mortality —
    between 1990 and 2015 — among children
    under five by two-thirds.
    India tops child deaths due to
    •Pneumonia
    •Diarrhoea,
    •congenitalAbnormalities
    •Haemorrahgic Diseases
    • POVERTY,CHILD MATERNAL DEATHS
    ARE HIGH IN INDIA
    • "The current Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)
    of India, as per the Sample Registration
    System (SRS) 2013, is 40 per 1,000 live
    births
    • while the Under-5 Mortality Rate
    (U5MR) as per SRS 2012 is 52 per 1,000
    live births.
    • Dr Robert Black, Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School
    of Public Health in Baltimore
    • USA, said: “In India, more than half of the child deaths occur in the
    first month of life, with the major clinical causes being complications
    of prematurity and of delivery. Infectious diseases remain
    important causes of death both in the first month of life and up to
    five years of age.”
    • He added that “vaccines to prevent pneumococcal pneumonia and
    rotavirus diarrhoea are now available and affordable for universal
    implementation in India and should receive priority”.
