The intrinsic link between the survival and health of newborns, stillbirths and the survival, health and nutrition of all women of reproductive age, including before, during, between and after pregnancy is clear.
The Nepal's Every Newborn Action Plan establishes specific national targets and milestones for quality of care, newborn mortality and stillbirth rate, monitoring, investments and the implementation of national plans. Achieving these milestones will help to ensure the vision and goal of reducing the burden of preventable deaths of newborns and stillbirths.
The action plan emphasizes the needs to reach every women and newborn when they are most vulnerable-during labour, birth and in the first days of life. Investment in this critical time period provides the greatest potential for ending preventable neonatal deaths, stillbirths and maternal deaths, would result in triple return on investment.
Newborn health and stillbirths are part of the "unfinished agenda" of the Millennium Development Goals for women's and children's health. With newborn deaths still accounting for more than 60% of under-5 deaths in Nepal, newborn mortality and stillbirths require greater visibility in the post-2015 sustainable development agenda.
