The total number of infant deaths in Attapadi touched 28 this year. Infant deaths in four months  due to poor nutrition and inadequate healthcare has left the tribal belt of Attapadi in Kerala devastated. The tribal belt of Attapadi in Kerala has never had it so bad. The high infant and neonatal mortality in Attappadi is primarily due to acute protein malnourishment or Kwashiorkor disease while general malnutrition or anaemia is only a contributing factor.
