Meanwhile, the southern states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh account for roughly 22% of the population, but less than 12% of maternal deaths. Similarly, while infant deaths account for less than 5% of all deaths in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, more than 20% of babies born in the northern states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan (all high-focus states) do not see their first birthday.
与此同时，南部的喀拉拉邦、泰米尔纳德邦、卡纳塔克邦和安德拉邦占全国人口的22%，但只构成不到12%的孕产妇死亡。类似地，婴儿夭折只占喀拉拉邦和泰米尔纳德邦死亡总数的5%，但在北部的北方邦、中央邦和拉贾斯坦邦（均为高度关注邦）20%的婴儿度不过生命的第一个年头。因此，将全印度一般化价值有限，印度领导人必须专注于各邦的不同情况，以制定针对性政策。
