Abstract

Mortality after birth, before to one year, and under five years offers a glimpse into present health issues, indicates enduring risk patterns in certain areas, and illustrates patterns in particular causes of death throughout time. One of the biggest threats to public health in developing nations like India is Neonatal, Infant and child mortality. Reduction of the Neonatal, Infant and child mortality rate would benefit human prosperity and well-being as well as public health. Access to social indicators linked to health is uneven everywhere, especially in a nation’s various geographic areas. But access to this health and health-related social indicators is poorly managed in India, with disparities between the states. The present study aims at examine the state level variations in Neonatal, Infant and Child Mortality Rates based on NFHS- 5 data, will certainly useful in policy making and implementation of health care services particularly reduction in health risks and mortality of children.
