• Neonatal mortality accounts for most infant
  mortality in India
• Neonatal mortality is closely associated with low
  birth weight (lt1400gms,30 weeks) and VLBW
  (lt500gms,26 weeks) premature babies
• Premature delivery accounts for most LBW/VLBW
• Social disadvantage is associated with pre term
  delivery

• THE NEED

  mortality rate (IMR) in poor urban populations

  private hospitals have NICU and are expensive
• An NICU at a nominal cost will benefit many and
  save the babies.
