A call to action to end newborn deaths
At the 67th World Health Assembly on 24 May 2014, governments from around the world made a historic commitment to end preventable newborn deaths. Health ministers of 194 countries endorsed the Every Newborn Action Plan (referred to from here on as Every Newborn) and ratified a resolution calling for its implementation.

We strongly support Every Newborn as a catalyst to promote newborn survival, and to end all preventable deaths among newborn babies. (Source: WHO Maternal, Newborn and Child Health)
