More newborns die on the first day in India than in any other country, according to the latest 'State Of The World's Mothers 2013' report.
Every year, over 309,300 children (29% of global share) in India don't live beyond the first day because of complications associated with preterm birth, hygiene and maternal health.
This makes India infamous for leading both maternal and new-born deaths globally. The report by US based Save the Children which ranks 176 countries on maternal and child mortality will release globally.
