Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 08/21/2012
Livingston A et al. – Neonatal deaths account for 43% of under–5 childhood deaths in Kenya. Most infants are born at home, and many of them die at home unaccounted for, often during the first week of life. Previous studies in which community health workers (CHWs) were trained to provide neonatal care reported reductions in neonatal mortality.
