At the 67th World Health Assembly on 24 May 2014,governments from around the world made a historic commitment to conclude preventable newborn deaths. Health ministers of 194 countries endorsed the Every Newborn Action Plan (referred to from here on as Every Newborn) and ratified a resolution calling for its implementation. This is very welcome progress. Until this point, newborn survival had been badly neglected. We strongly support Every Newborn as a catalyst to promote newborn survival, or to conclude all preventable deaths among newborn babies.
