Infant mortality rates remain alarmingly high in Nigeria, despite global improvements in infant health outcomes. This study aims to identify sustainable solutions to mitigate infant mortality in Jos Metropolis. The research explores the impact of education, maternal health, healthcare systems, and infant conditions on infant mortality. Data was collected through structured questionnaires from hospitals in Jos Metropolis and analyzed using multiple regression statistics. The results show that safe and adequate education is the only significant factor in reducing infant mortality, while maternal health and infant conditions have no significant effect. The study concludes that sustaining safe and adequate education is crucial, while also prioritizing improvements in maternal health, infant conditions, and healthcare systems to effectively reduce infant mortality in Jos Metropolis, Nigeria
