Pakistan's national infant mortality rate is estimated at about 48 deaths per 1,000 live births, according to UNICEF and UN inter-agency estimates. Punjab's rate is lower than Pakistan's national average, but it remains higher than rates recorded in Western Europe. For comparison, India recorded a rate of 24 in 2024, and the United States recorded about 5.5 in 2024.
