« 4,1. Le scandale des accouchements en France » : la hausse de la mortalité infantile, une exception française

Si la France fait partie des pires élèves européens concernant la mortalité des enfants avant 1 an, c’est notamment en raison de la fermeture des petites maternités à l’œuvre depuis la fin du XXᵉ siècle, dénoncent les journalistes Anthony Cortes et Sébastien Leurquin dans leur livre.



A book by Anthony Cortes and Sébastien Leurquin, "Le scandale des accouchements en France," highlights the increasing infant mortality rate in France, which has been rising since 2012 and significantly since 2020, placing France poorly in European rankings. The authors attribute this trend to the closure of smaller maternity units since the late 20th century, despite experts citing multifactorial causes like later maternal age and socioeconomic factors.
