Abstract

Neonatal, infant, under five and maternal mortalities and morbidities have remained disturbingly high in some developing countries including Nigeria. This is despite numerous efforts made to stern the tide. This viewpoint proposes a different multimodal and multi-disciplinary approach tagged the “The Better to Refer Babies Early in-Utero (the BReBEU) Project”. It is hoped that governments and institutions would pilot this project and subsequently upscale it to reduce mortalities and morbidities among neonates and pregnant mothers.
