--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Under-five deaths | 2024 | 4.86 million | 90% | deaths | How many children were estimated to die before age 5?
Under-five mortality rate | 2024 | 37.4 per 1,000 | 90% | deaths per 1,000 live births | What is the probability of dying before exact age 5?
Neonatal deaths | 2024 | 2.27 million | 90% | deaths | How many deaths occurred in the first 28 days?
Neonatal mortality rate | 2024 | 17.2 per 1,000 | 90% | deaths per 1,000 live births | What is the probability of dying in the first 28 days?
