Summary There is a great deal to be thankful for in the present report. Approximately 40 babies lives have been saved by improved care in the region in the second 5 months, this is on average 8 per month! There is clearly still room for considerably more improvement. The fundamental question is what has resulted in the improvement so far and is it sustainable. If it is not sustainable what can be done in the future that will bring about a sustainable improvement in the quality of care? I do not have the answers, but have some suggestions.
