Neonatal Survival

Neonatal survival refers to the ability of a newborn to survive during the first 28 days of life, a crucial period for infants. Factors influencing neonatal survival include access to quality healthcare, proper nutrition, clean birth practices, and maternal health. Innovations in medical care, like neonatal intensive care units and vaccinations, have significantly improved survival rates. However, challenges remain in many parts of the world, where inadequate resources can lead to higher mortality rates. Ensuring a safe start for newborns is vital for their health and development, impacting their future well-being and the community overall.
