Welcome to Episode 2 of our SDG3 series. In this series, we’ll be going through each of the targets of SDG3. In our previous episode, we looked at maternal mortality, and specifically some exciting work happening right here in Australia to developed inhaled oxytocin, to help prevent postpartum hemorraghe, which is one of the leading causes of maternal death. We also heard about the importance of connectivity and support networks for nurses and health workers in remote areas, dealing with often complex pregnancies and births. 
Today we move onto SDG3.2, which is ‘by 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births'. Today’s episode is very special - you’ll be hearing from the Kiribati’s Honourable Minister for Health and Medical Services, Dr Tinte Itinteang, along with members of his team and partners. Kiribati h
