Data to inform accelerated progress

One fundamental principle of the SDG era is that every newborn should have the same chance of life, but we already know that survival rates differ between high-, middle-, and low-income countries. How can data gathered during the MDG era aid our decision-making and help us to accelerate equitable reductions in neonatal mortality?

Many of these deaths are preventable even without access to neonatal intensive care facilities. Reductions can be achieved through public health approaches and improved obstetric and individual neonatal care. Several high impact interventions and strategies are highlighted in the video.
