Abstract :

Newborn health is clearly dependent on the health of mothers. The health of an adolescent girl impacts on pregnancy; the health of a pregnant woman on the health of the newborn and therefore, care during various life stages becomes important. Transforming care for every small and sick newborn, finds that among the newborn babies most at risk of death and disability are those with complications from prematurity, ain injury during childbirth, severe bacterial infection or jaundice, and those with congenital conditions. Additionally, the financial and psychological toll on their families can have detrimental effects on their cognitive, linguistic and emotional development. The study shows the mortality indicators which are of prime importance in evaluating the level of health care. The Neonatal Mortality Rate at the Urban Tertiary care center, Madurai is 34 per 1000 live births for the year 2017 in comparison with Tamilnadu’s NMR of 19 and 24 for India for the year 2017.Tamilnadu is next only to Kerala in the management of Newborn morbidity and mortality. The need of the hour is higher quality care in vulnerable areas by integrating maternal, newborn and child health services in a single continuum of care and thereby rehabilitating the workforce.The Man, Machine and Material have been well provided by the state government of Tamilnadu. The government’s will in implementing the health schemes ardently in accordance with WHO guidance, relentlessly through the years has prioritized health care especially after 2005 when NRHM was introduced.Tamilnadu’s political will, will ing down the IMR to a single digit, being second only to Kerala, similar to the statistics of developed countries andto reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births by 2030 in accordance with Sustainable Developmental Goals.The government has set out on a vision of the state in which there are no preventable deaths of newborns or stillbirths; where every pregnancy is wanted and every birth celeated; and where women, babies and children survive, thrive and reach their full potential.MAKE EVERY MOTHER AND CHILD COUNT.
