Abstract
Newborn babies have a right to survive and grow into child-hood, and to experience life to their full potential. Their healthy start in life is a shared responsibility of the family, community, and government. Across the lifespan, a human being faces the greatest risk of mortality during birth and the first 28 days of life—the neonatal period. Three quarters of neonatal deaths take place in the first seven days, the early neonatal period. Ironically enough, most of these are preventable. Neonatal mortality is one of the major causes of concern with newborns all over the world, especially developing and underdeveloped countries. Despite some remarkable improvement in neonatal health in recent years, the high mortality rate remains unchanged in many countries. Of the 10 million babies born every year approximately 4 million infants die during first week, 8 million during first year and around 10 million within 5 years of their life. Great efforts have been made to improve health of child around the world but mortality rates are still high in neonates. Most neonatal deaths can be avoided through simple, affordable interventions, especially in areas with weak health systems and high rates of neonatal mortality. Outreach and family-community care, health education is needed to improve the health of the Newborn.
