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
The requirement that government agencies overseeing post-natal medical program work in rural and suburban areas may help decrease infant mortality rates in Bolivia.
