The India Newborn Action Plan (INAP) was launched in 2014 to achieve its goals of single digit neonatal mortality rate and stillbirth rate by 2030. It has 6 components covering pre-conception to post-newborn care delivered through 3 levels - family/community, outreach, and health facilities. Progress is monitored using a dashboard of impact and coverage indicators across the components like institutional deliveries, newborn resuscitation, breastfeeding, and post-discharge follow-up. The plan aims to strengthen newborn care through strategic essential, situational and advanced interventions tailored for different settings.

2. Goals INAP
As per ‘Community Medicine’ with recent advance’ by AH Suryakantha, 4th Ed
Goal 1:Ending preventable newborn deaths to achieve single digit
NMR.
NMR=Total deaths up to 28 days from birth x 1000/total live births igga
dasp (in a give geographic area =igga, during a specified
period=dasp)
NMR 2012=28 , 2015=26.2
Average annual reduction rate=3.4 %
With this rate NMR BY 2030=15.7
Goal 2:Ending preventable still births to achieve single digit SBR.
SBR=Total still births x 1000/total live births+Total still births igga dasp
SBR 2012=22 , 2015=21.4
Average annual reduction rate=4.4 %
With this rate SBR BY 2030=19

• Launched: In 2014, in response to global Every
Newborn Action Plan.
• Goals: 1.Single digit neonatal mortality rate (NNR) by
2030 2. Single digit still birth rate (SBR) by 2030
• Strategic Intervention categories: 3 categories,

• Levels: 3 1.Family and community (FAC)
2.Outreach:sub-centre (OSC) 3.Health facility (HeFa)
• Global conference in April 2013, Johannesberg,SA:
Global Every newborn action plan: single digit NMR &
SBR by 2035.
