RESUMEN
370 deaths out of 1141 hospitalized cases of newborns aged 0-28 days were retrospectively analyzed in the Tantigou pediatric hospital of Dapaong, situated 645 km from Lome in northern Togo, in 1984-1985 and 1994-1995. A decreasing trend in neonatal mortality was noted: 42.5% and 27.6% respectively. Major causes of death were prematurity or low birth weight, sepsis, hypoxia conditions. The attendance of pregnant women at health information centres seems to be improving, but the neonatal mortality rate remaining high, the implementation of primary health care/Bamako Initiative resulting especially aiming at better prenatal care for pregnant women must be sustained.
