The mortality rate for babies under one year of age has fallen to 31 per 1,000 live births, according to the analysis by the Center for Social and Demographic Studies (CESDEM) of the 2002 Census, and as reported in Hoy newspaper. While the research shows that the data may contain errors in the parents? declarations, important consideration must be given to those declaring infant deaths within the first month of birth, generally considered more reliable, and accounting for 22 deaths per 1,000 live births. The census also implied that the causes of death between the second and twelfth months were closely related to the socioeconomic conditions of the families, indicating that professional medical personnel had attended 99% of the pregnant women, but that only 65% had been seen by an obstetrician or gynecologist.
