I was surprised to see the US that high up in terms of newborn fatalities. I was also shocked to see the Scandinavian countries that high up in terms of mother's well-being. How well did your country rank?

This really shocked me too. However, I think it must having something to do with the way babys are treated when they are born. We have more instances of SIDS in this country which correlates with the amount of women who will smoke, or drink during pregnancies. I don't understand why this happens when its common knowledge what this does to the baby.
