The purpose of neonatal visits is to re-examine newborns, review counseling and anticipation guidelines with parents, identify symptoms of illness, and educate and support parents. The purpose of neonatal visits is to improve neonatal access to basic health services and to find out as early as possible if there are abnormalities in the baby or if there are problems. One important indicator to describe the level of public health is the infant mortality rate.
