The 2018 data showed 19 deaths per 1,000 live births.

The Centre's report highlights that Maharashtra's neonatal mortality rate stands at 11 per 1,000 live births, achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2030 target of below 12 deaths per 1,000 live births.

Dr Babita Kamlapurkar, joint director of health, Maharashtra, said, "A core committee has been set up under the chairmanship of the chief secretary, which reviews strategies every three months. Additionally, the women and child development (WCD) department coordinates with various schemes for child welfare."
