Abstract :

One of the key determinants of a country’s development is status of child survival which is indicated by the number of deaths that occur each year in terms of under–5 mortality and infant mortality (babies dying < 1year after birth). In India, a major fraction of these deaths occurs during the newborn period i.e within 28 days after birth. It is the most vulnerable period which, to a large extent, determines the chances of child to survive beyond infancy upto adulthood if proper care is provided. This paper presents the status of Newborn Health in India in terms of number of deaths and their causes. It concludes by presenting simple, cost effective, evidence based interventions which can be adopted at level of government health system through hospitals and community. Effective implementation and delivery of these interventions can lead to drastic reduction in newborn deaths thereby improving the state of India’s children
