This paper presents the current status of neonatal teaching in the undergraduate medical education in 50 medical colleges. There appears to be a lack of uniformity in the various institutions not only in basic facilities for neonatal care but also in the course content and periods of the teaching programmes. Objectives of neonatal training have been defined and a broad outline for education provided. It is suggested that an optimal programme be drawn up and presented through the Medical Council of India for implementation by the different Institutions.
