Every Child Alive: The Urgent Need to End Newborn Deaths
2018
This report from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) examines the ongoing challenges of newborn and under-5 mortality across the world. Each year, 2.6 million babies die before they turn one month old, and another 2.6 million are stillborn. This report explores the safest and riskiest places in the world to be born, describes the risks to newborn health both within and between countries, and outlines an agenda for action that relies on expanding access to affordable, quality health care services, good nutrition, and clean water. The authors note that strong cooperation between governments, business, health care providers, communities, and families will be essential to ensuring all newborns have a fair chance to survive.
