Question

In spite of being the richest state, Haryana shows a very high infant mortality rate as compared to Kerala?

Answer 1

Answer:

High Infant Mortality Rate

Explanation:

The number of infant mortality rate is high in Haryana as compared to Kerela where infant mortality rate is very low.

The poor quality of health infrastructure, antenatal care, maternal health, and postnatal care jeopardise the lives of children, an analysis shows.

Infant deaths are more a symptom of deeper social problems such as malnutrition, sanitation, and immunisation, rather than just medical aspects, said Dipa Sinha, assistant professor at B R Ambedkar University in Delhi. Since most of the deaths are from infections such as pneumonia, which can be treated at the primary level, the preventive and primary healthcare system in the country is broken, she said.

Answer 2

In spite of being the richest state, Haryana shows a very high infant mortality rate as compared to Kerala

Explanation:

• Haryana is the second wealthiest state in India, with annual per capita income of about $2139 in 2012-2013.5 While it is relative to prosperity in India, Haryana reports infant life-threatening rates: forty-two infant deaths per thousand lives and one mortality ratio of nine deaths per thousand births and one maternal mortality rate of 146 maternal deaths per 100000 live births.
• According to the government officials, rotavirus infections,  sepsis, & pneumonia are the cause of the majority of infant deaths. Environmental and social obstacles prevent "access to basic medical resources" and therefore contribute to the increased mortality rate among children. Inadequate food intakes, such as proteins and vitamins that affect the growth, energy, & development of people leading to malnutrition or under-nutrition is another cause
• Health care facilities remain well below Haryana levels, owing obviously to lack of sufficient infrastructure, combined with a shortage of doctors and medical personnel, according to sources with the rising population and industrialisation.
• Above all education standards are comparatively poor. The literacy rate is quite low when compared to Kerala
• Kerala has a low infant mortality rate as the basic health and educational facilities are adequately provided. Literate people will have a high income opportunity so that they can provide their children with basic necessities.
