Ending Newborn Deaths

The motion

That the Parliament notes the publication of Save the Children’s report, Ending Newborn Deaths; expresses concern that it finds that, in 2012, one million babies died on their first, and only, day of life and 2.9 million babies died in their first month; welcomes Save the Children’s campaign to save two million newborn lives each year and boost global progress in ending child mortality; considers that significant changes in the delivery of basic healthcare are urgently needed to make sure that every child’s birth is attended by a trained and equipped midwife, and unequivocally supports Save the Children’s call for world leaders, the private sector and philanthropic institutions to commit to the Five Point Newborn Promise in 2014.
