Each year an estimated 2.7 million babies die during the first 28 days of life and over a million children survive with impairment following neonatal conditions.  The main causes of neonatal death are complications of prematurity (36%), infections (23%), and intrapartum complications (23%). Many of these deaths are preventable.
