1993, as UN IGME’s 2025 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The neonatal mortality rate is how many babies out of every thousand born alive die in their first 28 days. Most deaths in the first year of life happen in this first month, which makes it the measure most directly tied to care at birth — a skilled attendant, a clean delivery, warmth, and help with breathing and infection.

Neonatal Mortality Rate, 1993 covers 200 countries on 3 measures. Afghanistan is highest, at 71.224; Japan is lowest, at 2.330. The middle country reads 18.964. Against 1992, 200 values changed (26 up, 174 down), the same countries are covered.

One year of the 2025 release
Every year in this series comes from UN IGME’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 1993.
