According to World Bank report that was published in 2012, infant mortality rate (number of infants dying in every 1,000 live births) was as high as 70.40. This means 70.40 infants out of every 1,000 died before they reached the age of 1 year. The same 2012 report showed that adult female mortality rate in 2010 was 236.42 while for men it was 264.21. Adult mortality rate is calculate for the age group 15 to 60 and is defined as the probability of a 15 year old adult dying before reaching the age of 60. The causes behind adult mortality rates are not different from that of child and infant mortality rates in Haiti. The mortality rate or death rate will fall only when more people move above the poverty line and get access to proper healthcare and proper nutrition. Not only that, the socio-economic problems must also be take care of if Haiti has to move out of its death trap!
