The sum of these two represents the neonatal mortality.

Neonatal mortality Early neonatal mortality refers to a death of a live born baby within the first seven days of life, while late neonatal mortality covers the time after 7 days until before 28 days.

With the death rate of newborn children of 16.4 per thousand in 1991, Bosnia and Herzegovina was among the countries with a relatively low mortality of newborn children.

This is a consequence of the decreasing birth rate and reproduction, as well as the large number of young people leaving the country.

A newborn or infant can have a heart rate of about 130 150 beats per minute.

The average human respiratory rate is 30 60 breaths per minute at birth, decreasing to 12 20 breaths per minute in adults.

The figures for 1998 99 were 89 and 61 percent respectively, showing a higher rate of increase for urban women in terms of access to or preference for delivery in hospitals.

She wondered whether any statistics were available in that regard and asked why it had taken so long to implement the measures in question. She also enquired whether any steps had been taken to monitor and regulate the Caesarean rate in certain regions where the procedure was more prevalent and in the private sector.

Neonatal mortality and postneonatal mortality (covering the remaining 11 months of the first year of life) are reflected in the Infant Mortality Rate.

So the only way of really getting world population growth to stop is to continue to improve child survival to 90 percent.

Birth.

State of health of pregnant women, women in labour, and postpartum women

The percentage of newborns that dies in the first six days after they've been born is high despite the low rate of infant mortality and amounts to 60,7 , so the rate of early neonatal mortality is 5,5 which presents a decrease in comparison to 2000.

Significantly, 8.5 per cent of the total population is children under age 5, and the birth rate is decreasing (there are differences between the cantons and regions).

Due emphasis must be given to maternal mortality reduction, sexual and reproductive health and newborn care, as well as to children over five years of age and adolescents.

Turning to the issue of Caesarean section, she said that the National Health Plan 2002 2004 had set a target of reducing the rate of Caesarean section to 20 per cent over the following three years by providing improved prenatal care and better training of personnel and ensuring improved cooperation with social services.

In addition, a changing demographic structure has created more single person households and one child families as a result of our lower birth rate and ageing population.

Prenatal healthcare services during pregnancy, and post natal care are free of charge.

Prenatal consultations

(c) To work for a solid effort of national and international action to enhance children's health, to promote prenatal care and to lower infant and child mortality in all countries and among all peoples

Given a world average of 104 males to every 100 females, the male to female ratio of 112 boys to every 100 girls at the national level is excessively high.

This includes prenatal care, childbirth (by midwives or obstetricians, at home or in the hospital), as well as postpartum postnatal care for mother and baby at home.

Giving birth is not a privilege of the rich!

Antenatal visits are free and dietary supplements of iron are provided to expectant mothers.

However, a recent study that followed people from birth to age 38 found that those who started using cannabis early, every day, and for several years had a permanent 8 point drop in IQ scores.

Subcategories include very low birth weight (VLBW), which is less than 1500 g (3 pounds 5 ounces), and extremely low birth weight (ELBW), which is less than 1000 g (2 pounds 3 ounces).
