title: A role for science investments in advancing newborn health.
abstract: Progress in reducing the mortality of young children cannot be maintained without prioritization, funding, and implementation of neonatal interventions worldwide. Efforts to develop and deliver successful interventions must take a local perspective on problems and solutions, work through local policy processes and health care providers, and link to broader multisector efforts.
