Improving Neonatal Care: A Global Perspective.

Abstract:

:Each year, approximately 2.7 million babies die during the neonatal period; more than 90% of these deaths occur in developing countries, largely from preventable causes. The known, evidence-based, simple, low-cost interventions that may improve neonatal survival often have low or unknown baseline coverage rates. Gaps in coverage of essential interventions and in quality of care may be amenable to improvement strategies. However, often these gaps are not easily identified. A variety of international organizations have recommended key indicators of quality and established roadmaps for improving neonatal outcomes. Quality improvement at the facility level is an area for future investment.
