neonatal death

Neonatal death refers to the death of a baby within the first 28 days of life. It is often caused by factors such as premature birth, infections, birth complications, or health problems related to the mother. This period is critical because newborns are very vulnerable to health issues. Efforts to improve prenatal care, hospital practices, and medical interventions aim to reduce neonatal deaths. Understanding and addressing these causes is essential for improving survival rates and ensuring better health outcomes for newborns worldwide.
