The countries in South-east Asia have wide disparities in socio-economic and health indicators. This region accounts for almost one-third of global mortality in neonates and children under 5 years of age, and many countries in the region are unlikely to attain Millennium Development Goal 4. Over the past decade, several countries have initiated innovative projects with the aim of improving child health. This paper examines the innovations in neonatal health in four countries--Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Thailand--and analyses the extent to which these have been successful in meeting their goals. This case study will inform national governments and donor agencies wishing to scale up or modify existing neonatal health interventions.
东南亚国家在社会经济和健康指标方面存在很大差异。该地区几乎占全球新生儿和 5 岁以下儿童死亡人数的三分之一，该地区许多国家不太可能实现千年发展目标 4。在过去十年中，一些国家已经启动了创新性项目，旨在改善儿童健康。本文考察了孟加拉国、印度、斯里兰卡和泰国四个国家在新生儿健康方面的创新，并分析了这些创新在实现目标方面的成功程度。本案例研究将为希望扩大或修改现有新生儿健康干预措施的国家政府和捐助机构提供信息。
