Interest Rate
The percentage of the value of a balance or debt that one pays or is paid each time period. For example, if one holds a bond with a face value of $1,000 and a 3% interest rate payable each quarter, one receives $30 each quarter. The percentage of the interest rate remains constant (usually), but the amount one pays or is paid changes according to the amount of the balance or debt. For example, if one pays off part of the principal on a loan each month, the amount one pays in interest decreases even though the rate remains the same. See also: Time Value of Money.

SIMPLE, cheap measures like providing basic transport facility or on- call ambulance services in rural areas and promoting breastfeeding in the first hour after a child's birth hold the key for India getting rid of its most shameful health indicator -- very high and stagnating neonatal mortality rate.
She added that the number of paediatric nurses increased by nearly a quarter from 1997 to 2007 and neonatal mortality rates are falling.
The high infant and neonatal mortality rate is attributable to a number of factors including lack of awareness, inadequate caring practices, insufficient breastfeeding, and use of formula milk, milk bottles, and unhygienic environmental conditions.
