AB  - Background: High neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in low- and middle-income countries(LMIC) might not be resolved until rural healthcare facilities are empowered withsustainable frugal technologies and procedures. Needed technologies may not rely oncutting-edge systems of the high-income countries (HIC), which require much funding andwell-established public infrastructure to thrive. Rather, tailored non-conventional designsStudy design: A multistage strategy was designed to identify and resolve the technologyagainst neonatal interventions within the primary healthcare settings in Nigeria.Methods:over 25 years period to resolve the various factors militating against neonatal survivalin Nigeria. Unconventional ideas relying on solar powered systems and easily availablelocal materials were developed, trialed, and commissioned at various times across 31tertiary hospitals spanning all regions of Nigeria. Stand-alone studies or solutions-creation,amidst discouraging situations, were individually completed, peer-reviewed, and journalempowerment strategy – the Neonatal Rescue Scheme – to generate integrated proof ofconcept.Finding: The number of early neonatal deaths and overall NMR drastically reduced atparticipating centers.Conclusions: This Rescue-Scheme strategy could revolutionize neonatal healthcare in lowincome countries and drastically reduce Nigeria’s corporate NMR if properly adopted.Clinical evidence: Recent studies of the Scheme and various combinations of its neonataloverall NMR fell from 90/’00 to 4/’00 as published by Amina-center Minna Nigeria 2023;early mortality fell from 81% to 0% - University of Abuja Teaching Hospital Nigeria 2017,etc.
