Figure 1. Proportional mortality for children under-5 years according to all-cause mortality rate categories (very high, U5MR greater than 55 deaths per 1000 live births to very low, U5MR less than 5 deaths per 1000 live births). Cause specific mortality is from the child and adolescent cause of death estimation group, 2021(1). Congenital anomalies increase as a proportion of total under-5 mortality as survival improves.
