Brief Summary

India, with one of the world's largest populations, continues to struggle with extremely high infant and neonatal mortality rates. Neonatal infection (sepsis) now accounts for 50 percent of deaths among community-born (and 20 percent of mortality among hospital-born) infants. This study is the first phase of a multi-phase project investigating interventions to prevent neonatal infection in India.
