India currently has 5.5 DM Neonatology seats per one million newborns annually. In contrast, the USA has 73 Neonatology seats per one million newborns. USA has 265 Neonatology fellowship seats for 3.6 million newborns. India currently has 109 DM Neonatology seats, This indicates a stark difference in the availability of specialized training for neonatologists between the two countries.

India, with approximately 20 million births annually, needs more specialized Neonatologists to ensure adequate care and training across the country. The establishment of Neonatology departments in medical colleges will significantly enhance the capacity for neonatal care and improve outcomes for critically ill infants.
