* The neonatal mortality rate (NMR) slipped in 15 states and UTs in comparison to NFHS-4 (2015-16)

* The survey also found considerable improvement in vaccination coverage among children age 12-23 months across all states/UTs

The Under 5 and infant mortality rate (IMR) has come down in 18 states and union territories but in parallel 16 states recorded an increase in underweight and severely wasted under 5 children among 22 states that were surveyed during the first phase of the fifth National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5).

The survey was released by the Union health minister Harsh Vardhan on Saturday. Similarly, 13 states and UTs of the 22 surveyed registered a surge in the percentage of stunted children under five years of age in comparison to 2015-16. These states are Goa, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Telangana, Tripura, West Bengal, Lakshadweep and Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.
