Impressive figures for a modern world, rich and globalized world every three seconds a child under 5 years of life lost. Most of them died for reasons easily predictable: neonatal complications (37%), pneumonia (19%), diarrhea (17%), malaria (8%), measles (4%). The data covers 68 countries in the developing world where the country with the worst infant mortality rate is Sierra Leone, with 262 child deaths per 1000 births, followed by Afghanistan, with 257 in 1000. In these countries, the main causes of infant mortality are exacerbated by conditions of malnutrition, endemic poverty, poor sanitation, lack of potable water, lack of access to education for mothers and limited use of contraception.
