摘要
Neonatal care has made tremendous improvements in developing countries. However there are number of challenges to be met and neonatal mortality remains unacceptably high. In contrast to this neonatal care in developed nations have moved ahead of a pre-occupation to reducing the neonatal mortality only. The main reasons for this gap are poor infrastructure, resource limitations and lack of systems developed by neonatal units in the developed nations. Though this communication we explore the possibilities of application of health policies in the Australian neonatal units n developing countries.
