Newborn mortality - World Health Organization (WHO)
Most neonatal deaths (75%) occur during the first week of life, and about 1 million newborns die within the first 24 hours. Among neonates, the leading causes of death include premature birth, birth complications (birth asphyxia/trauma), neonatal infections and congenital anomalies, which collectively account for almost 4 in every 10 deaths in ...

Neonatal mortality - UNICEF DATA
The first 28 days of life – the neonatal period – is the most vulnerable time for a child’s survival. Children face the highest risk of dying in their first month of life at an average global rate of 17 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2022, down by 53 per cent from 37 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990. In comparison, the probability of dying after the first month and before reaching ...
Neonatal Tetanus: Vaccine Preventable Diseases Surveillance Standards
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that there were 34 000 neonatal tetanus (NT) deaths worldwide in 2015. This 96% reduction from an estimated 787 000 NT deaths since 1988 represents significant progress towards the maternal and neonatal tetanus elimination (MNTE) goal. However, the disease remains an important global public health problem, particularly in settings with high ...
Newborn infections - World Health Organization (WHO)
Neonatal infections are primarily bacterial in origin, and include pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. Neonatal infections result in over 550 000 neonatal deaths every year. Most of these deaths can be averted by preventive measures, early diagnosis, timely care-seeking, treatment with appropriate antibiotics, and follow up.
