No let-up to infant mortality in Salyan

While the infant mortality rate has been on a decline for the past two years, it’s projected to rise this year.

When Anjana DC, 25, gave birth to her first child at Salyan District Hospital in late January, the newborn was immediately transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The child was born with a complicated condition. On the third day at the unit, the child died.
