[Neonatal morbidity and mortality in 2002-2006 at the Charles de Gaulle pediatric hospital in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)].

Abstract

Neonatal morbidity and mortality remain at worrisome levels. Improved monitoring of pregnancies and conditions of delivery, reduction in the cost to families of care and the opening of a neonatal unit equipped with appropriate material at the pediatric hospital center (CHUP-CDG) should help to reduce neonatal mortality.
