Diphallia is a rare urogenital tract malformation characterized by complete or partial penile duplication with an estimated incidence of 1 per 5 to 6 million live births. First case was published in 1609 and till now only around 100 cases have been reported worldwide.

Introduction: ‘Preterm or Premature Birth’ is defined as birth occurring before completion of 37 weeks or 259 days since the first day of the last menstrual period of the mother. Every year, an estimated 15 million babies (more than one in ten births) are born preterm worldwide, and this number is rising. In Sri Lanka, approximately 24,500 babies are born prematurely each year. Efforts by obstetricians and neonatologists have led to significant advances in reducing preterm birth and improving outcomes.

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare neuroectodermal dysplasia with an estimated incidence of 0.7 cases per 100,000 births. Up to date approximately 1,200 cases have been reported in scientific literature. IP has a multisystemic involvement where the skin manifestations are the hall mark and could be seen even at birth. We present a baby girl with typical skin manifestations of IP seen at birth.

The term “Perinatal” refers to the period immediately before and after birth. The perinatal period is defined in diverse ways. According to many definitions, it starts at 20th to 28th weeks of gestation and ends 1-4 weeks after delivery. Perinatal health refers to the health of both the mother and the newborn during this specific period of time. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly, and intended to be achieved by the year 2030. As you are aware, there are 17 SDGs and the goal applicable for health is the goal 3 i.e. “ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all, at all ages”. This goal includes nine major targets and four sub-targets, and 14 indicators. Out of this gamut of targets, two indicators are relevant to maternal and newborn health. Those are the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) and the Neonatal Mortality rate (NMR).
