> Eight million children are either stillborn or die each year

> The issue of child survival is a moral as well as a health
> barometer of our times. The aim of the present Lancet series
> (Neonatal Survival) is to erase the excuse of ignorance for
> public and political inaction once and for all.
> 
> This series is the product of a partnership between scientists,
> health workers, and journal editors. Together we can make a
> difference to the lives of those who have no voice.
> 
> We believe that this is the most important public health
> campaign we have taken part in for a generation. It is for this
> reason that we are making this special issue available at no
> cost to all 1.1 million registered users of thelancet.com.
