In this study neonatal mortality was significantly high. Neonatal mortality was highly associated with primipara, prematurity, low birth weight, perinatal asphyxia, respiratory distress syndrome, congenital anomaly, neonatal sepsis and duration of hospital stay. Many of those cases could be prevented by improving antenatal care follow up, emergency obstetric services, and the enhancement of neonatal resuscitation skills and management of sick neonates.
