A study has been made of the final, and contributory, causes of post-neonatal deaths in the Auckland Hospital Board area for 1972. There was a high rate of deaths from infection. Maori infants died from pneumonia at a rate 28 times that of european infants. Prevention of these infant deaths will need improvement in parent recognition of illness, medical practitioner availability and training, and hospital facilities.
对1972年奥克兰医院管理局辖区内新生儿期后死亡的最终原因及促成因素进行了一项研究。感染导致的死亡率很高。毛利婴儿因肺炎死亡的比率是欧洲婴儿的28倍。要预防这些婴儿死亡，需要提高家长对疾病的认知、增加执业医生的可及性并加强培训，以及改善医院设施。
