Punjab has achieved its 2030 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) for reducing neonatal mortality ahead of schedule. Using the 'Mother Approach' strategy, the state reduced its infant mortality rate to 16 per 1,000 live births, significantly better than the national average of 24. Key improvements include a strengthened referral network, free services for high-risk pregnancies, and expanded healthcare infrastructure with 24 special newborn care units across the state. https://www.punjabitribuneonline.com/news/explainers/what-is-punjabs-mother-approach-the-2030-health-target-has-been-achieved-ahead-of-schedule/ #Creator program
