The Long Road to Newborn Survival: Working with Parents, Families and Communities to Reduce Preventable Neonatal Deaths
Journal Title: Pediatrics & Neonatal Biology Open Access - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
At the close of the millennium development goals it was realised that the neonatal mortality contributed to 44% of the under 5 mortality so as the world moves forward with the sustainable development goals every effort must be made to reduce neonatal mortality [1,2. This led to the development of every woman every new born strategy and the action plans to achieve reduction in maternal and newborn mortality [3]. The following review takes the community component of the “Every newborn: an action plan to end preventable deaths” [4] and suggests what can be done to ensure newborn survival.
