[afro-nets] The Lancet - Neonatal Survival Series

The Lancet - Neonatal Survival Series
-------------------------------------
 
Eight million children are either stillborn or die each year 
within the first month of life. This figure never makes news.
 
The issue of child survival is a moral as well as a health ba-
rometer of our times. The aim of the present Lancet series (Neo-
natal Survival) is to erase the excuse of ignorance for public 
and political inaction once and for all.
 
This series is the product of a partnership between scientists, 
health workers, and journal editors. Together we can make a dif-
ference to the lives of those who have no voice.
 
We believe that this is the most important public health cam-
paign we have taken part in for a generation. It is for this 
reason that we are making this special issue available at no 
cost to all 1.1 million registered users of thelancet.com.
