Bolivia ranks far behind Western European nations such as Great Britain and France when it comes to infant mortality rates  In all three countries, government agencies that oversee postnatal medical programs have been very successful in reducing the number of infants who are unvaccinated  In Bolivia, these government agencies are only active in urban areas
However, in Great Britain and France, government agencies are required by law to work in rural and suburban areas as well
Bolivia would have a lower infant mortality rate than Great Britain and France if its government agencies overseeing postnatal medical programs worked in rural and suburban areas.
