State with the highest mortality rate in Odisha.
Odisha has a high infant mortality rate, i.e., 33 per 1000 live births. The infant mortality rate refers to the probability of a child born in a specific year or period dying before reaching the age of one.
(Number of deaths of children less than one year of age/number of live births in the same year) x1000
Causes of infant mortality are poor sanitation, poor water quality, malnutrition of the mother and infant, inadequate medical care, birth defects, etc.
