Data for 2011

Neonatal Mortality Rate, 2011

2011, 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, 2011 covers 200 countries on 3 measures. Pakistan is highest, at 48.593; San Marino is lowest, at 1.059. The middle country reads 10.853. Against 2010, 200 values changed (21 up, 179 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use

How values are stored

  • 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 2011.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 200 countries has every column.
