Abstract

Neonatal morbidity refers to health complications and illnesses that affect newborns during the first 28 days of life. It remains a significant concern globally, with preterm birth, infections, and congenital conditions being the primary contributors. Early detection, prevention, and effective management are critical in reducing neonatal morbidity. This article reviews the epidemiology, causes, and interventions related to neonatal morbidity, with a focus on preventing adverse outcomes and improving survival rates in neonates. We explore the role of prenatal care, timely interventions, and advanced neonatal care units in managing these conditions.
