The Democratic Republic of Congo is the world’s toughest place to raise children, Save the Children reports.
Finland was named the best place to be a mother, with Sweden and Norway following in second and third places.
The charity compared factors such as maternal health, child mortality, education and income in 176 countries.
In India, over 300,000 babies die within 24 hours of being born, accounting for 29% of all newborn deaths worldwide, the report says.
The 10 bottom-ranked countries were all from sub-Saharan Africa, with one woman in 30 dying from pregnancy-related causes on average and one child in seven dying before his or her fifth birthday.
In DR Congo, war and poverty have left mothers malnourished and unsupported at the most vulnerable time of their lives.

Phase II trial demonstrated modest benefit in reducing cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
An investigational oral drug targeting adrenergic receptors improved scores on memory tests in patients with Alzheimer’s disease in a phase IIa trial, researchers said.
When given with currently approved Alzheimer’s disease drugs, the agent — called ORM-12741 — improved composite memory test scores by 4 percent after 3 months of twice daily treatment, whereas scores worsened by 33 percent in patients receiving memantine and a placebo pill, according to Juha Rouru, MD, of Orion Pharma in Turku, Finland, and colleagues.

SAN FRANCISCO — Ötzi the Iceman, an astonishingly well-preserved Neolithic mummy found in the Italian Alps in 1991, was a native of Italian Alps, not a first-generation émigré from Sardinia, new research shows. And genetically, he looked a lot like other Stone Age farmers throughout Europe.
The new findings, reported Thursday (Nov. 8) here at the American Society of Human Genetics conference, support the theory that farmers, and not just the technology of farming, spread during prehistoric times from the Middle East all the way to Finland.
