Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) is a huge burden globally. Ninety eight percent of neonatal deaths occur in the developing countries. In 2019, 2.4million children died in the 1st month of life (6,700/day), with 1/3rd within 1st 24h and 3/4th within the 1st week of life. (UNICEF 2020)...
The global neonatal mortality rate has decreased over the past years, but to a lesser extent compared to other under-five child deaths4. Globally, an estimate of 22, 25 and 34% of under-five deaths resulted from neonatal infections, intrapartum related conditions and preterm birth complications ...
has a neonatal mortality rate of 4.5 per 1,000 live births, which is about one-sixth that of India. There is substantial variation in the neonatal mortality rates across India, for example, the rate of 39 per 1,000 live births in Madhya Pradesh state in north region and Odisha sate in ...
Results Global Trend in Incidence and Mortality of Neonatal Preterm Birth Globally, the number of incident cases of neonatal preterm birth decreased by 5.26% from 16.06 million in 1990 to 15.22 million in 2019, and the number of deaths of neonatal preterm birth decreased by 47.71% from 1.27 mil...
Infections, birth asphyxia and preterm birth are the causes of death in almost 90 % of cases.Simple and inexpensive interventions before, during and after delivery may reduce mortality with more than 50 % globally. Substantial investments are needed for building health clinics that can assist ...

Moreover, declines in neonatal mortality are not keeping pace with declines in postneonatal mortality, which has globally increased the burden of newborn death. From 1990 to 2007, the under-5 mortality rate in China decreased by over 66.7%, which was 8 y ahead of the deadline imposed by ...
Neonatal mortality contributes about 47% of child mortality globally and over 50% of under-5 deaths in Ghana. There is limited population level analysis done in Ghana on predictors of neonatal mortality. The objective of the study was to examine the pred
Background An estimated 2.8 million neonatal deaths occur each year globally, which accounts for at least 45% of deaths in children aged less than 5 years. Birthweight and gestational age﹕pecific mortality estimates are limited in low‐resource countries like Uganda. A deeper analysis of mortalit...
While under-five child mortality has declined globally by more than half, dropping from 90 to 43 deaths per 1000 live births between 1990 and 2015, neonatal mortality has remained persistently high, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia (Gaffey et al., 2015, United Nations, 2015...
