¹ Number of children below five years

² IMR, CMR and U5MR is per 1,000 person-years. IMR = Infant Mortality Rate(0–1), CMR = Child Mortality Rate(1–4 years), U5MR = Under-five Mortality Rate(0–4). Estimated mortality rates are in italics

³ Results based on complete DSS analysis

⁴ Result is 2003 mid-year population.
