4,700 Indian Children Die Before Five Years, Says Report Sep 5th 2013, 13:14 "The global index between the countries have been determined using four indicators -- life expectancy, out-of-pocket expenses of using health services, adolescent fertility rate and coverage of health services," said Jayakumar Christian, chief executive officer of World Vision India. The report further said that Indians are forced to spend 61.7 percent of their savings to access health services. Around 86 in 1,000 women give birth between the ages of 15 and 19, with a very wide gap between the health of the rich and the poor. According to the World Vision report, the five countries with the smallest gaps are, France, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg and Finland, while the ones with the biggest gap are Chad, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Mali, Equatorial Guinea, Niger, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Afghanistan.
