Special care units to check infant, neo-natal mortality
RANCHI: The state health department will set up special care newborn units in all districts to check infant and neo-natal mortality rate.
“We have proposed the list of new places to set up these units. The move now only awaits the cabinet’s approval,” said director-in-chief (health services) Dr Pravin Chandra.
Experts say some of the major causes of infant and neo-natal deaths include premature birth, low birth weight and malnutrition.
