About the talk
Child mortality (of children below 5 years of age) has been steadily decreasing over the last decades. Neonatal mortality (of children below 28 days of age) has not decreased as much. The Sustainable Development Goal no 3.1 aims to reduce neonatal mortality in each country to below 12 per 1000 live births. Many low-income countries today are above 25 per 1000 live births which means that a reduction by half is needed. In my talk, I will discuss the difference between lowering child mortality and neonatal mortality and how we can move forward.
