ARTICLE ABSTRACT
Low birthweight (LBW) babies account for >80% of neonatal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia and those who survive the neonatal period are still at risk of detrimental outcomes.

We aimed to get a better understanding of the care of LBW babies in rural Malawi in order to inform action to improve their outcomes.
