You know I was about to make a North Korea joke about infant mortality and the post natal care, but if you believe the statistics (13.9 per 1000 live births, 22 per 1000 at worst), they're better than 30-40% countries INCLUDING India, and handily at that (32 per 1000).

That said, I don't know if surviving childhood in NK is more or less cruel.

Rule number one about dealing with NK is don't believe anything NK says.

I'm looking at world bank data that says 7.9? Wikipedia says 22, google search says 15, but none of them claim higher than India at 32. Not even estimates can give good results, but there is a distinct reduction in all sources from 121(!!!) from their 1996 famine.
