According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) report, Indonesia had an infant mortality rate of 16.85 per 1,000 live births in 2022.

This means that out of every 1,000 babies born alive, approximately 16 died before reaching the age of one.

Papua had the highest infant mortality rate among provinces, at 38.17 per 1,000 live births in 2022. The lowest rate was in DKI Jakarta, as shown in the graph.

"Infant mortality rate is used to reflect the state of health in a community," said BPS on its official website.

Besides the disparity between provinces, there is also a high disparity in infant mortality rates at the regency/city level.

BPS recorded the lowest infant mortality rate at the regency/city level in Central Jakarta, at 9.18 per 1,000 live births. The highest rate was in Nduga Regency, at 56.69 per 1,000 live births.

According to the Ministry of Health, the main causes of infant mortality include respiratory disorders, premature birth, blood infection (neonatal sepsis), and congenital malformations.

Efforts to reduce infant mortality need to be carried out systematically, in conjunction with the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, improving the quality of health and parental awareness, and expanding facilities, medical personnel, and access to health services throughout the country.
