Infant Mortality Increases – The Force for Health® Network

Infant mortality rose for the second consecutive year in 2022, with a 3% increase. The five leading causes of infant mortality remained the same as in 2021, including infant deaths due to maternal complications, which increased by 9%. This rise is linked to insufficient care in many states. Infant and maternal mortality rates in the US far exceed those of other high-income countries.
