Abstract

The mortality rate of children less than 5 years of age has decreased by 60% since 1990, with the Millennium Development Goals having been a powerful drive for improvement. However, the reduction has not been evenly distributed throughout the world (UN IGME 2020). Sub-Saharan Africa remains the region with the highest under-5 mortality rate in the world, where 1 child in every 13 dies before celebrating their 5th birthday (UN IGME 2020).
