Since 2001, Save the Children has been implementing the Saving Newborn Lives (SNL) initiative in Pakistan to promote affordable and sustainable interventions to reduce newborn mortality in the areas of highest need. Through research and advocacy, Save the Children has ensure Pakistan’s major reproductive, maternal, and child health programs include newborn care. SNL worked with government and other partners to vaccinate 11.1 million pregnant women against tetanus – halving deaths from this leading cause of neonatal mortality from an estimated 28,000 prior to 2000 to 14,000 by 2004.
