Provincially, Western Cape and Gauteng had the lowest U5MR per 1 000 live births, while Free State and KwaZulu-Natal had the highest.KwaZulu-Natal reported the highest , followed by Gauteng , however, the absolute number of deaths cannot be compared due to differing population sizes.
The most significant finding, however, is the downward trend in U5MR nationally from 75 deaths per 1000 live births in 2006 to 34 deaths in 2016.The under 5 mortallity rate has decreased dramatically and it looks as though we are well on our way to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals set out for us, which currently lies at 25 deaths per 1000 live births .
