Neonatal mortality in low and lower-middle income countries : which areas require further attention? Evidence from Bangladesh
Background: The global neonatal mortality rate (NMR) is still high, estimated at 19 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2015, which accounts for 45 percent of under-five deaths. Neonatal deaths are projected to increase to 52 percent of under-five deaths in 2030, with most deaths occurring in low and …
