State of the World’s Newborns is the first-ever global report on the status of newborns. This is the executive summary of the report, that attempts to highlight needs of newborns and the essential health care required for their future survival and well-being. Despite the growing magnitude of neonatal mortality, many key health solutions that are proven and affordable exist, and are ready to be impelemented. These include clean delivery practices, skilled care at
