New Delhi: In 2018, India reported the highest number of deaths of children aged below 5 years, a UNICEF report released Wednesday said.
India reported 8,82,000 child deaths, followed by Nigeria with 8,66,000 deaths and Pakistan with 4,09,000. However, the report said, the median under-five mortality rate per 1,000 live births in India is 37, while the figure is 120 for Nigeria and 69 for Pakistan.
Titled ‘The State of the World’s Children (SOWC)’, the report also stated that around 38 per cent Indian children under the age of five years suffer from stunting. There is also a state-wise disparity as “almost half of children are stunted in the worst-affected state compared with a fifth in the least-affected state”.

Rekha, thank you for responding, I am sure the rate for girls is way high, and I am sure that most of the girls deaths are not even reported. I have finished a book,
” Secret daughter”, by Shilpi Somaya Gowda, the story of woman in rural India, who was able to save her second daughter from being killed after birth, by taking her on a grueling trip to an orphanage, without telling her husband.

Thanks for being so kind Cornelia. It took almost one year to accept the reality. At least, now I can talk about it.
