Mots-clés :
Stories from low and middle income countries of AfricaRésumé
Neonatal mortality is extremely high in Nigeria and attempts to address it include identification of its major causes and determinants. Maternal health is a major underlying factor. Inequities need to be addressed as these are the major determinants that should be considered alongside the immediate and direct causes of the neonatal health. The major causes of neonatal mortality include Prematurity, Birth Asphyxia and Sepsis. These stories will highlight the major challenges of management of the teaming numbers of premature babies in the context of preterm delivery rate of 12% and constitute about 20% of the neonatal mortality in the modest setting.
