Data and Epidemiology
Globally, 43% of under-5 deaths happen in the first 28 days of life. The pace of reduction for neonatal mortality is 1/3 slower than for older children, limiting progress to MDG 4. Each year, 3 million newborns die around the world largely from preventable and treatable causes.
