HealthNet News Special Edition on Neonatal Survival
---------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,
The March 5th issue of The Lancet includes a landmark series
highlighting one of the greatest catastrophes in public health -
- neonatal deaths. Every year an estimated 4 million babies die
in the first month of life. The four articles featured in The
Lancet's Neonatal Survival series provide new evidence of the
causes of these deaths and the cost-effective interventions
available to prevent them.
To ensure that this vital information reaches those persons in
resource-poor countries who do not have access to these arti-
cles, SATELLIFE has compiled a Special Edition of its HealthNet
News e-publication that includes the following articles from
this Neonatal Survival Series:
1. 4 million neonatal deaths When? Where? Why?
2. Evidence-based, cost-effective interventions: How many new-
born babies can we save?
3. Systematic scaling up of neonatal care in countries
4. Neonatal survival: A call for action
This Special Edition is accessible via e-mail and is FREE to
those living in resource-poor countries. If you would like to
receive this Special Edition, please e-mail your requests to

For those who have internet access, the Neonatal Survival Series
is available on-line at no cost to all Lancet registered users
