Special supplement in Journal of Perinatology

A newborn infant
WHO/P. Virot

Approximately one million newborn deaths could be avoided every year through the promotion of optimal newborn care practices at home.

They also need to reach those who are the decision-makers in the family in a convincing and motivating way.
