• Fewer neonates are dying now. Neonatal mortality decreased by 50% over the two decades between 1990 and 2012–more than 2% per year.

• Between 1990 and 2012, infant mortality declined by 67 and under-fi ve mortality by 103 points.

• Millennium Development Goal (MDG 4) target for under-fi ve mortality rate has already been achieved by Bangladesh.

• Under-fi ve mortality rate in

rural areas is 10% higher than

in urban areas, while neonatal

and infant mortality rates are

similar in rural and urban

areas.

Of the 273 surveyed neonatal deaths for 2011 DHS in Bangladesh :

• 37% occurred on day 0;

• 50% occurred on days 0 and 1; and

• 81% occurred during the fi rst week of life.

The fi rst week of life is the riskiest for newborns. Most deaths during the neonatal period occur at home and are often unregistered.

• Around three in ten mothers receive skilled care before, during and immediately after birth which

can allow for early detection and management of problems leading to neonatal mortality.

• Proper medical attention and hygienic conditions during delivery can reduce the risk of

complications and infections that may cause death or serious illness to the baby. Only three out

of ten births took place in health facilities.

Missed opportunities

•• Low coverage for interventions during pregnancy and immediately surrounding birth, such as visits for antenatal care, services of skilled birth attendants, ensuring early initiation of breastfeeding and early postnatal check on health of the mother and newborn are the missed opportunities which have the potential for achieving higher levels of coverage and prevention of deaths.

• Focused interventions in the form of campaigns or outreach services, such as vitamin A supplementation, immunization and distribution of ORS packets have resulted in higher

levels of coverage.

• In comparison, those interventions that require 24-hour access to skilled health providers, such as treatment of childhood pneumonia or diarrhoea also have a large potential to contribute to saving of precious lives.
