Non-partisan research demands investigation to the reasons
for infant mortality prior to investigation for who/what is responsible for
such conduct? (This article deliberately held, for release 10-3-2012 due to the
first Presidential debate.) According to the W.H.O., World Health Organization
(http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs333/en/index.html),
there are definitive reasons for infant mortality is ". . . mothers and
newborns do not receive skilled care during and immediately after birth." Also
"Up to two-thirds of newborn deaths can be prevented if known, effective health
measures are provided at birth and during the first week of life." Neonatal deaths, 75% occur during the first
week of life, and between 25% to 45% occur within the first 24 hours. Newborn
death-rate of 80% of this age group attributed to: A- prematurity, B- low-firth
--weight, C- infections, D- asphyxia (lack of oxygen), E- birth trauma. The
first days of life are the most critical for newborn survival.
1- Most
newborns die at home, without skilled care that could greatly increase their
chances for survival.
2- Skilled
health care during pregnancy.
3- Skilled
health care during childbirth.
4- Skilled
health care during postnatal period prevents complications for the mother and
newborn.
5- Skilled
health care can detect early and management problems.
6- Low-birth-weight
of babies.
7- Babies
born HIV-positive, requires additional care and possible hospital referral.
