Report: Infant Mortality Rate In US Remains One Of Highest In Developed World.

says a new report by the National Center for Health Statistics finds the United States still has “one of the worst rates” of infant mortality in the developed world. The report notes that “just under six out of every 1,000 babies died at birth or in the first year of life in the U.S. in 2013,” a rate that is triple that of Japan or Norway and double the rate of Ireland, Israel or Italy. The rate did not change much from 2012 but had decreased 13 percent from 2005. http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/us-infant-mortality-rate-still-one-highest-developed-world-n404871
