Pakistan is among those countries where the infant mortality rate is very high and at least 22 minors die before turning one month old, the United Nation’s Children Fund reported in April this year.
“Pakistan is the riskiest place to be born as measured by its newborn mortality rate,” the report read.
“A baby born in Pakistan is almost 50 times more likely to die during his or her first month than a baby born in Japan, Iceland, and Singapore,” it added.
