Abstract
A study has been made of the final, and contributory, causes of post-neonatal deaths in the Auckland Hospital Board area for 1972. There was a high rate of deaths from infection. Maori infants died from pneumonia at a rate 28 times that of european infants. Prevention of these infant deaths will need improvement in parent recognition of illness, medical practitioner availability and training, and hospital facilities.
