8 Countries with Highest Rates of Infant Mortality

2. Somalia 

Infant Deaths Per 1000 Live Births: 85.06

Somalia’s infant mortality rate is 85.06 deaths per 1,000 births, a stark indicator of bad quality of life in the country. Political instability and long-standing poverty further strain Somalia’s healthcare system. The country has an estimated 2 physicians per 10,000 people, far below the World Health Organization’s recommended threshold.
