  13. Neonatal Mortality At Jordan HospitalMortality Summary • Neonatal mortality at Jordan Hospital (as a tertiary center with a high percentage of high risk pregnancies) is relatively low, corrected neonatal mortality was 5.8/1000 deliveries. • RDS, sepsis and major congenital anomalies are the major causes of death. • Financial limitations of use of surfactant and other expensive drugs, as well as unaffordable cost for corrective surgery is a major factor of death.

  14. What is needed ….? Appropriate and adequate care for the mother, the fetus, and the neonate: Appropriate and adequate conditions must be fulfilled : • Transparent annual perinatal statistics. • Training for health care providers. • Education for the public. • Physical facilities. • Trained staff. • Follow up programs.
