Aurélien Pradié, deputy for the Lot, wished to challenge the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, on infant mortality, “key indicator of the quality of perinatal care and public health policies”, as part of an oral question posed Tuesday, April 29, 2025, in the National Assembly. “Now, one in 250 children dies before his first birthday. Since 2011, this mortality rate has gone from 3.5 deaths for one year for 1,000 children born living at 4.1 ‰ in 2024, according to INSEE, which notes that 75% of these deaths occur during the first month of life. And since 2015, it has been greater than the average of the European Union, which reached 3.3 ‰ on average in 2023. In the lot, it is 6.2. The increase in infant mortality is a sign of a general downgrading, including our care system. A nation unable to lower the mortality rate of children under a year is a nation in check “He said. The parliamentarian also asked to meet the minister and intends to intervene again in the hemicycle on May 15 on the occasion of the Liot parliamentary niche, on this same subject.
