Abstract
Period of first 28 days of life is the most crucial as there are increased risks of paediatric morbidity and mortality arising due to birth related complications. Globally, 45% of under 5 childhood mortality belongs to neonatal group and this can project to 52% by 2030.Moreover, up to half of neonatal deaths occur at first day whereas 75% die within the first week of life. Prematurity and infections are important factors behind neonataldeaths.1
