From Wikipedia

Infant mortality is defined as the number of infants who are born alive, but die before one year of age. The most common cause of infant mortality worldwide has traditionally been dehydration from diarrhea. Because of the success of spreading information about Oral Rehydration Solution (a mixture of salts, sugar, and water) to mothers around the world, the rate of children dying from dehydration has been decreasing and has become the second most common cause in the late 1990s. Currently the most common cause is pneumonia. Major causes of infant mortality in more developed countries include congenital malformation, infection and SIDS.
The infant mortality rate is reported as number of live newborns dying under a year of age per 1,000 live births

Morocco = 38.85
Algeria = 28.78
Tunisia = 23.84
Uk = 5.08
Portugal= 4.98
spain = 4.37

Surely we could do some thing to put this index down !!
