The neonatal period is the most vulnerable phase for the survival of children. In developing countries, neonatal mortality rate (NMR) continues to be a significant problem around the globe. According to World Health Organization (WHO) fact sheet, around 2.4 million neonates died globally during the newborn period in 2020 (World Health Organization, 2022). Neonatal death refers to any deaths occurring in the first 28 completed days of life. Diverse causes contribute to neonatal deaths during the perinatal period (World Health Organization, 2006). It is essential to put enhanced efforts into improving child survival and achieving the target of sustainable development goal-3 (SDG) of 2030 to end preventable child deaths (Hug et al., 2019).
