- In 2011, the Birth rate is estimated to be 22.17 births
per 1,000 people with an infant mortality rate of 46
deaths per 1,000 live births. Compared to the infant
mortality rate in 2006 of 48 deaths per 1000 live
births, the 2011 IMR is a slight decrease within that 5
year period. Infant mortality rate in Nepal is higher in
rural regions at 44 deaths per 1000 live births,
whereas in urban regions the IMR is lower at 40 deaths
per 1000 live births. This difference is due to a lack of
delivery assistance services in rural communities
compared to their urban counterparts who have better
access to hospitals and neonatal clinics.
