AB - This medical outreach was designed to apply research techniques to determine the best practice that could improve the survival rate of newborn babies (neonates) within the tropical harsh climate of Western Africa. The highly populated vast expanse of the landscape of Nigeria, traversing the southern coastal rainforest to the dry northern desert lands, provided the suitable setting for this project.Lack of appropriate and effective science of neonatal thermoneutral control was initially identified as the major cause of poor physiological stabilisation of neonates especially the premature babies, leading to a high rate of mortality and morbidity. An affordable and most appropriate sustainable technology must be synthesised to reduce neonatal mortality. This has to be functional but culturally compliant for easy adaptability
