Summary
Neonatal mortality has been a notable health issue in Pakistan. Considering the importance of
the issue and well recognized interventions the investigators are proposing a randomized
controlled trial in a rural district of Pakistan which will evaluate the effectiveness of a
neonatal package comprised of the standard neonatal care, Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) and
application of chlorhexidine compared with standard neonatal care coupled with application of
chlorhexidine and essential neonatal care alone. The investigators anticipate that this study
will provide an evidence base way forward benefiting the children of Pakistan.
