The death of children dropped from 12.4 million deaths in 1990 to 6.6 million in 2012. That is nearly 800 every hour. Over 70% of this 6.6 million deaths of infants happened within a year of their life as well as a high proportion being within 28 days. This is a drop of about 17,000 fewer deaths each year.
