Healthy Woman:The role of postnatal checkups in reducing Neonatal mortality

The compulsory move by hospitals and health centers to ensure that all mothers go for postnatal checkups ten days after childbirth is something that will save many mothers and babies lives.  Most women and babies get several complications after birth and this raises the Neonatal mortality rate and maternal mortality rate. The demographic Health Survey carried out in 2005 indicted that Infant mortality was 86 in every 1000 births while the maternal mortality was 750 out of every 100,000 live births.
