Challenge of infant mortality in India.
The paper analyses the existing constraints in the delivery of adequate health services to children. A strategy for containing the infant mortality due to neonatal causes, diarrhoeal diseases and respiratory infections is presented: suggestions are given for better training of manpower for child health services, continuous supply of drugs and equipment and adoption of the "at risk" approach for identification of children likely to die, without intervention.
