National neonatal mortality rate remained at 21 deaths per 1,000 live births since 2016, but disparities increased in disadvantaged populations.
Poor households showed rising neonatal mortality rates from 27.3 to 27.8 deaths per 1,000 live births, indicating unequal health progress.
General linear model assessed trends while logit regression identified key determinants affecting neonatal deaths.
Targeted health system interventions are necessary to address the growing disparities impacting maternal and newborn care access.
