Abstract:
The study findings show that poor maternal education, poverty, and harmful cultural practices are common in Pakistan, and associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. Underutilization of maternal and child health services due to accessibility challenges and poor quality of services is a significant cause of poor neonatal survival rates. Also, young maternal age that results from the prevalence of early marriage in Pakistan, short birth interval, low maternal nutrition status, and low women empowerment are common causes of neonatal mortality in Pakistan.
