  abstract: SUMMARY: Background and Objective: Although Nepal has achieved progress in reducing maternal, neonatal and infant deaths over the years, more need to be done to improve attributing factors including access to health facilities, utilization of maternal and neonatal health services, institutional delivery, and socio-economic status. In the absence of comprehensive registration of deaths and causes of deaths, the accurate measure of maternal, infant and neonatal deaths are difficult. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine maternal mortality ratio, neonatal and infant mortality rate in Khotang, Panchthar, Taplejung and Terhathum districts. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to enumerate maternal, neonatal, and infant deaths on the past three years preceding the survey. The survey team prepared the list of the health facilities to be covered for survey with the help of District Health Office. A team of research assistants organized a meeting with health workers of the health facility, FCHVs, teachers, local leaders and religious leaders, traditional healers, traditional birth attendants in a health facility. In a meeting, the survey team enlisted all deaths of women aged 15-49 years and neonatal and infant death events of the district retrospectively within last three years, July 15, 2013 to July 15, 2016. The team covered all wards of the VDC (the coverage area of health facility) to collect information of death events. The identified/reported death cases were listed with all the basic information. Then the deaths were validated by the survey team as maternal, neonatal and infant deaths at the household level. The survey team visited each household with deaths as reported by key informants in the meeting along with FCHV of respective ward. During validation, household head and husband/father/mother of the deceased were interviewed. Findings: Neonatal mortality rates per 1000 live births in FY 2072/073 were 19.29 in Khotang, 28.81 in Taplejung,…
