Résumé

Majority of neonatal deaths occur in developing countries. There is an increase in the proportion of neonatal deaths as part of the under-5 mortality over the past decade. Hence we need to accelerate further to achieve the goal of single digit neonatal mortality rate (NMR) by 2030. The two major arms of NMR reduction include facility-based neonatal care (FBNC) and home-based neonatal care (HBNC). FBNC addresses care at birth, care of the normal newborn, and care of small and sick newborns. HBNC provides continuum of care for newborn and post-natal mothers facilitated by Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers. One of the main challenges is to maintain good quality of neonatal care. Zero separation, linkage of community & facility and roles of professional bodies are considered way forward to achieve India Newborn Action Plan (INAP) goals. This review summarizes existing programs for newborn health and diseases and provides an over-arching view of the way-forward.
