Abstract

India has reduced its neonatal mortality rate (NMR), but it has risen as a proportion of child mortality. The third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 3) requires India to reduce its NMR to 12 per 1000 live births by 2030, but this study projects that India can reduce it only to 18, though certain states may achieve the target. To improve the chance future generations have at survival, and to meet the SDG, the study makes several recommendations. The most important is that existing neonatal health programmes should be properly implemented and supervised, and successful state-level programmes extended nationwide.
