Newborn health - World Health Organization (WHO)
To ensure every child survives and thrives to reach their full potential, we must focus on improving care around the time of birth and the first week of life. The high rates of preventable death and poor health and well-being of newborns and children under the age of five are indicators of the uneven coverage of life-saving interventions and, more broadly, of inadequate social and economic ...

This course is part of a set of resources for improving care of newborns, such as WHO Human Resource Strategies for improving neonatal care, WHO standards for improving the quality of care for maternal and newborn health, small and sick newborns in health facilities.
Neonatal mortality - UNICEF DATA
The first 28 days of life – the neonatal period – is the most vulnerable time for a child’s survival. Children face the highest risk of dying in their first month of life at an average global rate of 17 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2023, down by 53 per cent from 37 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990. In comparison, the probability of dying after the first month and before reaching ...
Newborn health WPRO
A newborn infant, or neonate, refers to a baby in the first 28 days of life, a period marked by the highest risk of morbidity and mortality. Enhancing neonatal survival and health and preventing avoidable deaths and stillbirths requires achieving high coverage of quality antenatal care, skilled birth attendance, and postnatal care for both mothers and newborns. Neonatal deaths, which occur ...
Newborn care - UNICEF DATA
Death in the first month of life, which is mostly preventable, represents 47 per cent of total deaths among children under 5 in 2022. While mortality among children under 5 declines globally, deaths among these children are becoming more concentrated in the first days of life. This makes the focus on newborn care more critical than ever. In 2022, an estimated 2.3 million children died in their ...

Microsoft Word - WHO PNC 2014 Briefer_A4.docx
This is a new recommendation, and clean, dry cord care remains the standard recommendation for newborns born in health facilities and at home in low neonatal mortality settings. The use of chlorhexidine in these situations may be considered only to replace application of a harmful traditional substance, such as cow dung, to the cord stump.
Neonatal Tetanus: Vaccine Preventable Diseases Surveillance Standards
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that there were 34 000 neonatal tetanus (NT) deaths worldwide in 2015. This 96% reduction from an estimated 787 000 NT deaths since 1988 represents significant progress towards the maternal and neonatal tetanus elimination (MNTE) goal. However, the disease remains an important global public health problem, particularly in settings with high ...
Levels and trends in child mortality 2024 - UNICEF DATA
The world has made remarkable progress in reducing child mortality. Since 2000, the global under-five mortality rate has fallen by 52 per cent, reflecting decades of investment and collaboration by governments, communities and partners. Millions of children have survived and gone on to thrive thanks to proven, life-saving interventions. Yet, this year’s United Nations Inter-agency Group for ...
