| Summary |
All over the world, major changes are taking
place in the area of maternal and child health
to achieve the goals set out in international
declarations and country commitments. The
need for evaluation and information has,
therefore, become increasingly apparent.
This report provides neonatal and perinatal
mortality estimates by country, regional
groupings and globally. For countries that do
not have data, models were developed to
estimate mortality. Since data on deaths
come from a number of different sources, the
methods used to obtain the estimates are
also described. Country-specific estimates
of stillbirth and early neonatal deaths are
published here for the first time. Estimates of
stillbirth deaths that occur during delivery
(intrapartum) by regional groupings, as well
as estimates of sex ratio in neonatal, early
neonatal and stillbirth mortality for the
developing world are other recent
contributions to the understanding of early
mortality that are presented in this book.
This publication will allow countries to review
their achievements in the area of maternal
and neonatal health and compare their
results with those obtained by other
countries. It is hoped that these estimates will
stimulate interest in routine data collection
and stress the need for better data to inform
and monitor change. |
