Infant deaths are down 42%

[NewsWhore]

So far this year deaths of newborn babies are down 42% over the same period last year. This may be partly due to fewer women coming from Haiti after the terrible earthquake of January 2010. Maternal mortality is also down by 48%, according to Bautista Rojas Gomez, the Minister of Public Health. Rojas Gomez said that the ideal situation would be not a single newborn death or maternal death, but the marked improvement is certainly noteworthy. The minister said that if the current downward trend continues, the nation would be within the parameters of the fourth and fifth chapters of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals for 2015.
