International ranking for infant mortality flawed: Canadian study
Canada's ranking in international child health indexes would dramatically improve if measurements were standardized, according to a new study by researchers from the University of British Columbia, Dalhousie University, McGill University, the University of Calgary, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, working with the Canadian Perinatal Surveillance System and funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
Very interesting indeed. Even if this is true, there's still no doubt that we pay twice as much as the other countries high up on the list for the same care.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, if this proves out, I will have to amend my criticism to reflect the true status of US infant mortality in comparison with those presently at the top of the rankings.
