Abstract
The proportion of neonatal deaths among children under age 5 is still relatively low in sub-Saharan Africa (36%), which remains the region with the highest under-five mortality rate in the world. In Europe and North America, where under-five mortality rates are among the lowest of the regions targeted in the sustainable development goals, 54% of all under-five deaths occur in the neonatal period. An exception is South Asia, where the proportion of neonatal deaths is among the highest (62 percent) despite a relatively high under-five mortality rate [1].
