Abstract

Since 2000, countries have made substantial progress in reducing under-five mortality, but Haiti, an impoverished country in the Latin America and Caribbean region, faces major health challenges, including a high level of child mortality. However, few studies have focused on analysing trends in the under-five mortality rate (U5MR), determinants and geographical disparities within the country.
