Abstract
A newborn struggle in the first month of his or her life as is evident from mythology that Lord Krishna too had a turbulent neonatal stage. The struggle of newborns continues in India even today and that too in the state of UP even today. The current Neonatal Mortality Rate in India is 22 per 1000 live births (UNIGME, 2019), 24.9 as per NFHS 5 (2019-2021) & for the state of UP, it is 35.7 (NFHS 5, 2019-2021). The high neonatal mortality both in India and UP stand as a testimony to this fact as reducing this indicator is a priority. The current article focuses on the initiatives of the role of homoeopathy in public health system to address neonatal mortality. Basically, there are two approaches to reduce neonatal mortality. These are Home Based Neonatal Care (HBNC) practices and the Facility Based Neonatal Care (FBNC) practices. The article focuses exclusively on the first approach which is HBNC .There are three objectives of the article. The first is to find out the current status of Homoeopathy in the HBNC practices, the second is to find out the details of the current & past implementation strategies and the third is to find out the link between Homoeopathy & HBNC practices. The study uses secondary data. The gap that the article worked on is to explore a link between Homoeopathy & HBNC & its modalities. It deciphers whether there is a functional link or not & suggests future strategies based on the functionality of the link. The article also proposes a 2 year plan to introduce homoeopathy in the field of newborn care where all the related stake holders of the state & national level will be involved. It will be a step in the right direction to fulfill the plans to achieve the SDG by 2030 especially for neonatal & infant mortality related goals. For the benefit of the readers, the article includes its expected outcome, relevance to society & policy making through the context of the identified issues & the research gap. Through all these sections, the current ......
