During the last decade, the index of infant mortality has half-decreased, amounting to 8.8 ppm in 2016. Pursuant to Armenia’s demographic and healthcare 2015-2016 research data, the disadvantage indicator among infants (0-5 years old) has double-decreased, accounting for 9%, and the indicator of exclusively breastfeeding has increased by 10%, reaching 45%.

The achievement of such indicators in the field of healthcare and nutrition has been possible due to the joint projects of the UN Children’s Fund and UNICEF.
