Report by the Secretariat CORRIGENDUM
Please replace paragraph 47 of the report with the following text:
47. The period occurring after 28 weeks of gestation to the first month after birth is especially important not just for survival, but also for early childhood interaction and development, when the foundations for the evolution of cognitive and psychosocial skills are created. Furthermore, it is during labour, birth and the first week of life that 44% (1.2 million) of stillbirths, 73% (2 million) of newborn deaths and 61% (206 250) of maternal deaths occur.
