This document discusses the pressing issue of infant mortality rates (IMR) with a focus on urban and rural disparities, specifically among island groups. With a staggering 44% neonatal death rate observed within the first three days, urgent policy changes are recommended. Such changes include implementing home visits by health professionals at critical intervals (Day 1-3) and integrating the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) approach. The goal is to enhance the coverage of essential newborn care and child survival initiatives, as highlighted in various health profiles and action plans.
