In 2016, research by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded an infant mortality rate (IMR) of 25.5. This means that there were approximately 25.5 deaths per 1,000 live births. Over the past few years, Indonesia's IMR has gradually decreased. In fact, the development of the IMR in Indonesia over the past 20 years has been quite encouraging, showing a significant decline. In 1991, the IMR reached 68.

However, Indonesia's IMR remains relatively high compared to neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Singapore, which have rates below 10 deaths per 1,000 live births. Infant mortality is a sensitive indicator of a nation's health status and even a measure of a nation's progress. A high infant mortality rate (for infants under one year of age) indicates a low quality of the country's health sector.
