Summary
Neonatal mortality has been a notable health issue in Pakistan. Considering the importance of the issue and well recognized interventions the investigators are proposing a randomized controlled trial in a rural district of Pakistan which will evaluate the effectiveness of a neonatal package comprised of the standard neonatal care, Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) and application of chlorhexidine compared with standard neonatal care coupled with application of chlorhexidine and essential neonatal care alone. The investigators anticipate that this study will provide an evidence base way forward benefiting the children of Pakistan.
