Mississippi declares public health emergency over rising infant mortality rate

The Mississippi health department declared a public health emergency Thursday over rising infant mortality rates in the state.
There were 9.7 deaths for every 1,000 births in Mississippi in 2024, the highest rate in more than a decade, according to a news release from the state health department.
More than 3,500 babies in Mississippi have died before the age of 1 since 2014.
About a third of US counties do not have a single obstetric clinician, according to a report released last year by the infant and maternal health nonprofit March of Dimes. In Mississippi, nearly half of all counties are considered maternity care deserts, according to the organization.
The latest available data from the CDC shows that that the national infant mortality rate rose for the first time in 20 years in 2022. Mississippi had the highest infant mortality of all 50 states that year, more than 60% higher than the national average.

公衆衛生上の緊急事態を宣言、乳児死亡率が過去１０年で最悪の水準に 米ミシシッピ州
2025.08.24
https://www.cnn.co.jp/usa/35237078.html
（ＣＮＮ） 米南部ミシシッピ州の保健当局は、州内で乳児死亡率が上昇していることを受け、公衆衛生上の緊急事態を宣言した。
州保健当局の発表によると、２０２４年のミシシッピ州の乳児死亡率は出生１０００件当たり９．７人で、過去１０年あまりで最悪の死亡率となった。
１４年以来、同州では生後１年を迎える前に３５００人以上の乳児が死亡している。
州保健局のダン・エドニー博士は声明で「乳児を失うたびに家族は打ちひしがれ、地域社会は打撃を受け、未来が絶たれる。
これを現実として受け入れることはできないし、受け入れるつもりもない。
公衆衛生上の緊急事態宣言は政策決定以上のものであり、命を救うための緊急の取り組みだ」と述べた。
緊急事態の宣言により、人的・物的資源を動員する仕組みが整う。
これには、母子ケアのための標準化されたシステムの導入、出産看護の医療が不足する「産科砂漠」の解消、地域の保健スタッフや家庭訪問による母子支援の拡大、安全な睡眠習慣に関する教育活動などが盛り込まれている。
「母体の健康状態の改善が乳児死亡率を減らす最善の道だ」とエドニー氏は述べた。
「それは、妊娠前後の医療へのよりよいアクセス、地域社会の支援、母親と乳児のための人的・物的資源の拡充を意味する」
全米の郡の約３分の１には産科医がひとりもいないと、母子の保健に関するＮＰＯ「マーチ・オブ・ダイムズ」が昨年発表した報告書は指摘する。
ミシシッピ州では郡の半数近くが「産科砂漠」とされている。
同ＮＰＯのトップ、シンディ・ラーマン氏は声明で「ミシシッピ州の保健当局が乳児死亡率への対処として公衆衛生上の緊急事態を宣言したことは、我が国が直面している母子保健の危機を痛みとともに思い起こさせる。
州の出生数は全米の１％未満だが、乳児死亡数は全体の１．６％超を占めている。
こした損失は国全体への警鐘とすべきだ」とし、ミシシッピ州の対応を支持すると明らかにした。
米疾病対策センター（ＣＤＣ）は今年後半に乳児死亡率に関する新たなデータを公表する予定だ。
州保健局は「この危機の緊急性を認識しており、待つことはできなかった」と述べた。
ＣＤＣの直近データによると、全米の乳児死亡率は２２年に２０年ぶりに上昇した。
ミシシッピ州の乳児死亡率は全米５０州の中で最も高く、全国平均を６割以上上回った。
ミシシッピ州の発表によれば、主な死因は先天異常、早産、低出生体重、乳幼児突然死症候群（ＳＩＤＳ）で、ＣＤＣの全米データとも一致する。
黒人の乳児は特に脆弱（ぜいじゃく）で、２４年には出生１０００件当たり１５人以上が死亡した。
これはすでに平均を上回る水準だった死亡率が前年比で２４％増加したことを意味する。
近年の研究では、乳児の死亡と中絶規制の関連も指摘されている。ＣＮＮの調査報道では、２１年にテキサス州で妊娠６週以降の中絶を禁じる法律が施行された後、乳児死亡率が急増していた。

Mississippi declares public health emergency over rising infant mortality rate
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/22/health/infant-mortality-public-health-emergency-mississippi
The Mississippi health department declared a public health emergency Thursday over rising infant mortality rates in the state.
There were 9.7 deaths for every 1,000 births in Mississippi in 2024, the highest rate in more than a decade, according to a news release from the state health department. More than 3,500 babies in Mississippi have died before the age of 1 since 2014.
“Every single infant loss represents a family devastated, a community impacted and a future cut short. We cannot and will not accept these numbers as our reality. Declaring this a public health emergency is more than a policy decision; it is an urgent commitment to save lives,” State Health Officer Dr. Dan Edney said in the release.
An emergency declaration creates certain opportunities for mobilizing resources to address an issue. The state health department’s strategy includes activating a standardized system for maternal and infant care, eliminating maternity care deserts, expanding access to resources for mothers and babies through community health worker programs and home visits, and education on safe sleep practices.
“Improving maternal health is the best way to reduce infant mortality,” Edney said. “That means better access to prenatal and postpartum care, stronger community support and more resources for moms and babies. Healthy women of childbearing age are more likely to have healthy pregnancies, which in turn lead to healthier babies.”

US infant mortality increased in 2022 for the first time in decades, CDC report shows
About a third of US counties do not have a single obstetric clinician, according to a report released last year by the infant and maternal health nonprofit March of Dimes. In Mississippi, nearly half of all counties are considered maternity care deserts, according to the organization.
“The Mississippi Department of Health’s declaration of a public health emergency in response to infant mortality is a painful reminder of the maternal and infant health crisis facing our nation,” Cindy Rahman, March of Dimes’ president and CEO, said in a statement. “Although Mississippi accounts for less than 1% of US births, the state accounts for more than 1.6% of all infant deaths. These losses should be a wake-up call to the nation. March of Dimes supports Mississippi’s public health leadership for raising attention to this critical issue and outlining key strategies to improve birth outcomes in the state.”
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to release its own data on infant mortality later this year, but the Mississippi health department said that it “recognized the urgency of this crisis and could not wait to take action.”
The latest available data from the CDC shows that that the national infant mortality rate rose for the first time in 20 years in 2022. Mississippi had the highest infant mortality of all 50 states that year, more than 60% higher than the national average.
The leading causes of infant mortality in Mississippi are congenital malformations, preterm birth, low birth weight and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), according to the state’s news release, in line with CDC data on the top causes nationwide. Black babies in Mississippi are particularly vulnerable, with more than 15 deaths for every 1,000 live births in 2024 – a 24% jump in one year over already higher-than-average rates.
Recent research has drawn some possible connections between infant mortality and abortion restrictions. A CNN investigative report found that infant mortality spiked in Texas after a six-week abortion ban took effect in 2021, and a study published in October suggests that the impacts of the bans and restrictions enacted by some states since the US Supreme Court Dobbs decision that revoked the federal right to an abortion have been large enough to affect broader trends – hundreds more infants died than expected in the US in the year and a half after that decision.
March of Dimes also emphasized the “critical” importance of protecting Medicaid to support the health care of newborns and their mothers.
“Medicaid covers nearly 53% of births in Mississippi and 40% nationwide, making it a critical lifeline for moms and babies. Any cuts or restrictions will only make this crisis worse,” Rahman said. “The United States is among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth. We cannot afford to move backward.”
