Abstract:
Neonatal mortality remains unacceptably high throughout the world. Survival of sick infants in their first month of life has improved over the past six decades. However, many comorbidities persist, with lifelong implications for health. The current ecosystem for research and development of drugs and medical devices to treat neonatal disorders is hindering further improvements to neonatal outcomes, especially infants born preterm or needing critical care.
