AbstractPerinatal and neonatal deaths account for an increasing proportion of deaths under 5 years old. We present essential elements to reduce perinatal mortality, barriers to establishing these elements, and the role of developing emergency care systems. Essential elements for prompt perinatal and postnatal care are categorised based on care-seeking behaviours, access to a primary care facility and for the severely ill, access to advanced neonatal care. The role of emergency care systems is key to overcoming obstacles currently faced in countries with high perinatal and neonatal mortality rates.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
