VIENTIANE, March 21 (Loatian Times/ANN): Mortality rates in children under five and birthing mothers in Laos have decreased significantly in the past year due to significant strides in hygiene and health promotion.
In 2022, the Ministry set a target for the mortality rate of children under five to be 36 deaths out of every 1,000 but has surpassed that target with only 140 deaths for every 100,000 births.
