Neonatal Mortality

Neonatal Mortality

Neonatal Mortality refers to the death of a newborn within the first 28 days of life and is a key indicator of maternal and child health as well as the effectiveness of healthcare systems. The major causes of neonatal mortality include premature birth, low birth weight, birth asphyxia, infections, and congenital abnormalities. Many neonatal deaths are preventable with timely and quality antenatal care, skilled birth attendance, safe delivery practices, and proper postnatal care. Factors such as maternal nutrition, access to healthcare, socioeconomic conditions, and early detection of complications play a crucial role in newborn survival. Public health strategies to reduce neonatal mortality focus on improving maternal health services, strengthening neonatal intensive care, promoting breastfeeding, and ensuring early immunization. Reducing neonatal mortality is essential for achieving better child survival rates and improving overall population health outcomes.
