Summary
Given the potential of skin cleansing with chlorhexidine as a safe, feasible, and
cost-effective intervention for reducing neonatal death in developing country settings, this
study follows a trial already underway in Nepal to test the impact of a single cleansing of
the skin with baby wipes cotaining chlorahexidine.
