Browse, life stage: Newborn Browse, care area: Newborn care ## In plain language A 2014 plan led by WHO and UNICEF to end preventable newborn deaths and stillbirths by 2035. It sets targets for 2035 and milestones on the way, and 194 Member States endorsed it at the World Health Assembly in 2014. ## Technical summary WHO plan (ISBN 978-92-4-150744-8), read from the English PDF; the who.int initiative page shows 24 June 2014 beside the plan and the IRIS record issues it on 2014-07-01. Goals: by 2035, all countries to reach 10 or less newborn deaths per 1000 live births and 10 or less stillbirths per 1000 total births; the 2030 milestone is a national rate of 12 or less for each, and the plan gives global averages of 7 and 8 for 2035 and 9 and 9 for 2030. The 2035 and 2030 points are held as milestone records. The plan's earlier milestones for 2020 and 2025 are not followed up here, and progress reports on the initiative page were not read.
