A recent series on neonatal issues in the British science journal Lancet estimated that between 41% and 72% of neonatal deaths could be prevented if simple interventions were provided effectively where they are needed most. In other words, up to three million babies needlessly die each year.
这是一个巨大的、可以避免的悲剧。英国科学杂志柳叶刀最近对新生儿死亡问题的系列文章估计，如果在最需要的地方有效地采取简单的防治措施，就可以防止41％到72％的新生儿死亡。换言之，每年有3百万婴儿不必死亡。
