The Healthy Newborn Network (HNN) has updated its Newborn Numbers page and related tools with the latest data to help guide country and regional policies, planning, and implementation of life saving interventions to avert preventable newborn and maternal deaths, and stillbirths. The Newborn Numbers page houses a comprehensive and engaging database that can be downloaded with an extensive list of indicators for 197 countries, which has added two indicators showing whether each country is on track, or not, to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) newborn mortality target and the Every Newborn Action Plan Stillbirth target. HNN’s interactive chart builder tool also allows users to easily and quickly visualize the country data by making graphs with over 50 newborn-related indicators. Additionally, the multi-dimensional functionality of the tool makes it easy to select multiple indicators and countries. All data included in this update represents the most recent data available.
The categories of indicators in this update include:
Mortality data for maternal, newborn and child health and stillbirths
Proportion of newborn deaths by cause
Preterm birth rate
Newborn-related health indicators
