Indonesia Health Profile 2010

Data in “World Health Statistics 2011” shows a wide gap of underfive mortalityrate among ASEAN member states in 2009. The country with lowest rate wasSingapore with 3 per 1000 live births, and the highest was Cambodia with 88 per1000 live births. ASEAN member states mostly have Underfive Mortality Rate lessthan 50 per 1000 live births, and only Cambodia, Myanmar and Lao PDR had morethan 50 per 1000 live births.Due to the same data source, underfive mortality rate in SEARO ranged from13 to 79 per 1000 live births. Buthan was the country with the highest underfivemortality rate, while Thailand was the country with the lowest. If ASEAN only had 3countries (from total 10 countries) with underfive mortality rate more than 50 per1000 live births, SEARO had 5 countries with underfive mortality rate more than 50.Graph 6.10 shows that ASEAN member states relatively had underfivemortality rate lower (except Cambodia) than SEARO member states. It has beendescribed previously that the majority of underfive mortality is caused by diarrhea,pneumonia and malnutrition. It means ASEAN member states might have sanitationand economy better than SEARO member states.In 2009, Indonesia had 39 underfive deaths per 1000 live births (according toSDKI 2007, Underfive Mortality Rate in Indonesia was 44). Among ASEAN memberstates, Indonesia was ranked the 4 th highest Underfive Mortality Rate, while amongSEARO member states, Indonesia was ranked the 5 th lowest. Underfive Mortality Ratein ASEAN and SEARO in 2009 can be seen in Annex 6.2.3. Maternal Mortality RateBased on WHO classification, Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is divided asfollows:
