Reporting of infant mortality rates can be inconsistent, and may be understated, depending on a nation's live birth criterion, vital registration system, and reporting practices. Differences in measurement could play a substantial role in the disparity between the US and other nations. A non-viable live birth in the US could be registered as a stillbirth in similarly developed nations like Japan, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, the Netherlands, and France – thereby reducing the infant death count.
And Cuba touts its Healthcare as much as it does its literacy rates...these IMR measurements are government control. I really hope you wouldn't want you or your partner to feel more safe having a child in Cuba...I wouldn't.
Not saying there isn't a problem and we cant improve, but we doing aight. Ill give our Infant mortality rate a half-chest pound with a subtle "'Murica". Thanks for pushing me to know the issue a little more.

Thanks for a reasoned response. The off season is getting very, very long...
Now back to our regularly scheduled football talk. HTTR. And I don’t exactly know how, but my heart says the Redkins will make the playoffs. And when they do, watch out, anything is possible. (Channeling my Cap’s here)
