Basic Information About Barbados For a very complete look at general statistics look to the World Factbook http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/bb.html Health Information (1) The following information is by the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress under the Country Studies/Area Handbook Program. As it is a temporary on-line searchable source it is not possible to bookmark or hyperlink to the site. Below is some of the information from the country study. The death rate for the population rose in 1983 to 7.9 deaths per 1,000 inhabitants; much of the increase was attributed to a higher infant mortality rate, which rose 15 percent to 24.5 deaths per 1,000 live births. This increase was caused largely by problems arising shortly after birth, particularly pneumonia and respiratory ailments.
