It is also a major cause of mortality in both developed and developing countries. Despite considerable burden of disease, few data exist on precise incidence and etiology of onset neonatal sepsis in sub-Saharan Africa. This study addresses this gap. OBJECTIVES: To Estimate Prevalence of Neonatal Sepsis and to determine maternal, neonatal and environmental risk factors contribute to neonatal sepsis in Mogadishu Hospitals. METHODS: This was a hospital based prospective cross sectional study conducted at selected Mogadishu hospitals in Banadir region. A total of 286 neonates were recorded from February to august 2016. Were performed from newborn babies (n=286, age: 0-28 days) admitted to the hospitals with/without a clinical diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. RESULTS: Of the 286 out of 172 (60.1%) are Male, were 114 (39.9%) of neonate are Female. resulting in an overall male is common than female. The age of neonates the commonest one is age between 1-7 days (84.6%), were age 8-28 days is (15.4%). Out of the 286 neonates were 102 (35.7%) Prolonged rapture of membrane. The most prevalence clinical features of sepsis were difficult feeding (19.2%), fever (12.9%), and lethargy (5.9%). In the other hand this study found 286 respondents out of 241 (84.3%) are delivered in a Hospital, were 42 (14.7%) of respondents are delivered TBA, were 3 (1%) is delivered Private clinic, and were most who attended during delivery out of 152 (53.1%) are Doctors, were 99 (34.6%) of respondents are Midwife, were 23 (8%) is Nurse, were 10 (3.5%) is mother/relative and were 2 (0.7%) is friend/neighbor. II CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: This study set out to look at the estimate prevalence of neonatal sepsis in Mogadishu hospitals in selected hospitals (Banadir, SOS and DEVA), was most our study establish place of delivery is hospitals, in other hand most common that attended delivery is Doctor and were most ages of children are 1-7 days in male gender are commonest gender that attended this study. To describe the varied pathogens causing neonatal sepsis as well as their changing antibiotic susceptibility profile is important. There are a number of important gaps in our knowledge or in Somalia, and there is an urgent need for studies looking at simple and sustainable interventions to reduce the burden of neonatal sepsis and causative organisms Key words: neonatal sepsis, neonate, pediatric, prevalence of sepsis, Mogadishu.
