The municipal Public Health Department reported that the infant mortality rate dropped to single digits in Rosario, down 1.3 points between 2008 and 2009, passing from 10.7 per thousand live births to 9.4 per thousand in the period. In this regard, the Director of Municipal Information System in Health, Dr. Anglia Chamita said it is “a downward trend is the result of long-term political support, the ongoing work on the problems of childhood and the articulation of all areas and public and private sectors.” In this regard, he said, “when analyzing this type of indicators important thing is not strictly the value of numbers, but in our case, the downward curve that was generated in Rosario since 94 with a rate of 20.8 per thousand to 9.4 per thousand in 2009.”

In this sense Chamita said that when they reach single digit values is increasingly difficult for the rate drops because the factors involved in the causes are more complicated to solve, whether for economic or cultural, or behaviors and practices rooted in society, as in health services. “

The infant mortality rate related deaths occurring under one year for a year and the number of live births registered during the same period. It is considered one of the most important indicators for planning and programming of health activities and, because of its special utility is required to calculate and correctly interpret their values, noted Dr. Chamita.
