Examining the Alarming Rise in Childhood Mortality Rates

Some Context: A Frightening Trend Explored More Closely

Recent research conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University and Children’s Hospital of Richmond has revealed a deeply concerning rise in mortality rates among children and adolescents between 2019 and 2021. Shockingly, deaths related to injuries have surged so significantly that they now surpass all public health gains achieved thus far.

To gain further insight into this distressing trend, the researchers obtained death certificate data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s public WONDER database. They then analyzed it based on race, ethnicity, and cause for children aged 1 to 19. Their findings indicate that not only are Black and American Indian/Alaska Native children experiencing significantly higher mortality rates compared to white children but also that these disparities, which had been improving until 2013, are now widening.

Furthermore, the data reveals that while overall child mortality rates took a turn for the worse around 2020, rates for Black, Native American, and Hispanic children started increasing much earlier around 2014.

Between 2014 and 2020 alone, death rates for Black children and teenagers rose by approximately 37 percent. Similarly alarming is the approximately 22 percent increase witnessed among Native America

Although the maternal mortality rate has decreased in the country, 156 mothers die while giving birth to every 100,000 children. More than 4,000 mothers die every year due to pregnancy and childbirth complications. Although efforts have been made to bring it down to 70 in the Sustainable Development Goals, Bangladesh is still far from achieving it. Moreover, 78 percent of normal deliveries of expectant mothers in the country are in the hands of midwives.

According to the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM), climate change is the biggest health challenge of our time. As the days go by, the whole world including Bangladesh is facing heat waves, floods and natural disasters due to the effect of global warming. Which is significantly affecting the health of women and children.

In such a situation, ‘Midwives, indispensable manpower in climate crisis’ is being celebrated in Bangladesh on Sunday like all over the world as ‘International Midwife Day-2024’.

Medical practitioners say that a midw
