Mississippi Declares Public Health Emergency as Infant Mortality Rate Soars Above War-Torn Ukraine

"Mississippi has declared a public health emergency over its infant mortality rate, which is... even higher than that of war-torn Ukraine."

"It has people asking why so many babies are dying... and what can be done to save them."

"The state had 9.7 infant deaths per 1,000 live births last year. It's the highest infant mortality rate in more than a decade."
