High-Yield Explanation
Total population centered by sub-centre = 5000 Crude Bih Rate(CBR) India = 20.4 per 1000 Mid-year POPULATION (SRS 2016) So, estimated number of Bihs in a year =20.4/1000x5000 = 102 bihs per year Also, currently Infant moality rate(IMR) India =34 per 1000 live bihs So, expected number of infant deaths in a year in that population =34/1000x100 = 3.4 deaths So, total number of expected alive infants = 102-3.4 =99 Infants approximately Ref: Indian public Health standards for sub-centres 2006 Guidelines Pgno: 3
