Number of infant deaths, female

This indicator tracks the mortality rate of female infants who do not survive beyond their first year, providing critical insight into gender-specific health challenges and care disparities. By analyzing this data, we can uncover underlying factors contributing to female infant mortality, such as socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, nutritional deficiencies, and cultural practices influencing child-rearing. High rates may indicate systemic issues that require targeted interventions, including maternal education, better healthcare access for women and children, and improved nutritional programs. Understanding these dynamics helps inform policymakers and health organizations in developing tailored strategies aimed at reducing female infant mortality and promoting overall gender equity in health outcomes.
