A professor of paediatrics at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Chinyere Ezeaka, has said Nigeria loses more than 250,000 babies yearly to preventable and treatable causes.
Ezeaka said this during the donation of neonatal equipment to LUTH by the Newborn Essential Solution and Technologies (NEST360°) to pilot referral health facilities in Nigeria.
The expert who is also the Clinical Lead of the NEST 360° project said the Sustainable Development Goal of ending preventable newborn deaths by 2030 was achievable.
“The cause of newborn deaths such as prematurity, infections, birth asphyxia and congenital abnormalities can be reduced with the wide-scale adoption of comprehensive newborn care, a standard of care available in the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
