The objectives of this study are to estimate the infant, child mortality rates and life expectancy at birth based on the 2010 and 2015 population censuses, and to evaluate the quality of the mortality estimates. Results of the study indicated a trend of lower mortality and mortality differences between urban and rural areas. Logistic method was used to evaluate validity of the mortality estimates. Estimates of infant and child mortality estimates based on live birth and surviving children reported on women aged 20-24, and 45-49 are biased. Factors thought to influence the biasedness in the estimates were errors in mortality reporting, and in child birth and death reporting.\\\\r\\\\n\\\\r\\\\nKey Words:Infant and Child Mortality, Expectation of life at birth, Logistic analysis
