Trends and determinants of early neonatal mortality in Ethiopia: evidence from the Ethiopian demographic and health survey data
Given the slow decline in ENM, sustained efforts are essential to improve access to quality healthcare, strengthen the health system, and address key health determinants to achieve better neonatal outcomes. Implementing evidence-based strategies, including enhancing antenatal care services, promoting early initiation of breastfeeding, and providing specialized care for multiple pregnancies and cesarean deliveries, can play a crucial role in reducing ENM and ensuring healthier outcomes for newborns.
