Later on the unfavourable evolution of infant mortality was connected with the failure in reduction of endogenous mortality, i.e. the mortality soon after the delivery. Nowadays majority of countries of the previous Soviet Union and former Yugoslavia...infant mortality...has increased." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)
