Abstract

Neonatal death is child health problem which the global community seeks to reduce to the barest minimum by 2030. In 2017, sub-Sahara Africa’s average neonatal death was 27 in every 1000 successful births, while Nigeria’s neonatal death rate was 32.9. The researcher’s objective is to propose public health policies needed to reduce neonatal death drastically in Nigeria by 2030. The researchers sourced data from World Bank between 1993 and 2015, and used ordinary least squares method of analysis because of its simplicity. We recommended introduction of antenatal meal plus in Nigeria based on finding that poor nutrition causes neonatal death.
