The Lancet Series on small vulnerable newborns is a five-article collection exploring the pathways to babies being born “too small” or “too early” and the evidence-based interventions that, if fully implemented, would enhance the survival and health of small vulnerable newborns and benefit babies, mothers, and society.
On May 9th, 2023, the Series was launched in Cape Town, South Africa, with authors and experts calling for a whole-of-society response to small vulnerable newborns. The time to act is now. Every newborn, family, and society has the right to survive and thrive. Everywhere.
