Abstract : Approximately 130 million infants are born globally each year, and during the neonatal period, about 4 million of them face mortality. Neonatal deaths are on the rise in relation to overall child mortality, with nearly 99% occurring in low- and middle-income countries [1]. The collaborative outreach and community care initiative have successfully covered 90% of the population, averting 18 to 37% neonatal fatalities. These efforts encompass home-based infant care, fundamental newborn care, resuscitation, assistance for low-birth-weight infants, and emergency infant care. However, it is crucial to expand and scale up facility-based care for sick infants to achieve a reduction in neonatal mortality [2].
