In addition to infant mortality, the report notes that the neonatal mortality rate (U5MR) decreased from 21 to 17 per 1,000 live births in UT, and the neonatal mortality rate decreased from 15 to 12. , with premature neonatal deaths between October and August. According to the report, the J&K ratio (female/1000 male) at birth also increased from 906 to 921.

The median percentage change in Johnson & Johnson’s CBR, according to the MCC . 19.4%.

However, J&K’s total fertility rate (TFR) has changed significantly as UT’s TFR has fallen from 2.2 in 2008-10 to 1.5 in 2018-20 – the second lowest TFR in India .
The report also notes that J&J has the second highest number of mothers receiving medical care when giving birth in public hospitals. 70.3% of women are treated at J&K government hospitals, with Rajasthan having the highest rate (70.9%) in 2020.
