Under-5 mortality (2017)

This layer shows the estimated number of deaths per 1,000 live births among children under 5 years of age (in 2017) — a key indicator of child survival and overall health system performance. High under-5 mortality rates often reflect limited access to essential health services, clean water, sanitation, and adequate nutrition. Expanding decentralized systems can play a key role in improving child survival outcomes in underserved areas.
