Abstract | AIM: To determine which interventions would have the greatest impact on reducing neonatal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa in 2012. METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Reducing neonatal deaths from asphyxia require improvements in infrastructure and obstetric care to manage maternal conditions such as obstructed labour and preeclampsia. Reducing deaths from preterm birth would also necessitate improved infrastructure and training for preterm infant care. Reducing infection-related mortality requires less infrastructure and lower-level providers.
