A lot of this is disputed, in terms of infant mortality. There are rules 
you're supposed to follow about reporting infant mortality that many of the 
OECD nations don't follow. For example, if a baby lives only a couple of 
minutes, the US will report that as "infant mortality" while France might 
not report it unless the child lives more than an hour and Switzerland might 
not report deaths of babies born live but too early to survive even with the 
most intensive care.
