Understanding Infant Mortality
Infant mortality rate measures deaths of infants under 1 year per 1,000 live births. Approximately 15,000 infants die each day. Our IMR counter tracksinfant deaths today, mortality by country, and global trends.
Also known as child mortality, under-1 mortality, and infant death rate, this metric is closely related to healthcare access, neonatal care, and development.
Our infant mortality data covers multiple dimensions including by country, by region, over time, and by cause.
How We Calculate Infant Mortality Rate
Our live counters use verified data from WHO, converted to real-time estimates using linear interpolation. All calculations are transparent and documented.
