Childsurvival improved, with the largest improvement occurring between 1969 and 1976 and less improvement occurring inthe 14 years after 1976. Direct estimation of mortality is not possible without an accurate and complete vitalregistration system. The state of Chuuk should consider making greater efforts to improve the coverage of the vitalregistration program.Chuuk’s infant mortality rate declined from 73 in 1973 to 43 in 2000. Although Chuuk’s infant mortality rate haddecline over the years, it is still among the highest in the Pacific. Given the 2000 results, the infant mortality rateshould be a real worry for Chuuk state policy makers, especially the health sector.Chuuk Branch Statistics Office, Division of Statistics, FSM Department of Economic Affairs 47
