Abstract:
Neonatal sepsis, a systemic inflammatory response syndrome from infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, continues to be one of the leading causes of hospitalization and deaths among neonates in Liberia. Severe infection accounts for about 28% of newborn mortality in Liberia which stands currently at 37 deaths per 1000 live births according to the LDHS 2019-2020 report and UNICEF reported 22% of all neonatal deaths in Liberia were as a result of sepsis in 2016.
