question of survival

Neo-natal deaths .of the three million neonatal deaths in the worlds , 779000 deaths occured in India  in 2012. Nigeria is the second largest after in India in Neo-natal deaths .The first   24 hours after birth determine the most critical period for the survival of Neo nate. Of the one million neo natal deaths every day one third are in India .large number of preterm births is the reason for around 50% of neonatal mortality

Poverty, adolescent pregnancy, lack of medical care are some reasons for the preterm births .lack of well trained health care workers and proper health care centers  are acting as barrier for improving new born survival.
