Every year throughout the world, about four million babies die before they reach one month old, most during the critical first week of life. Most of these deaths are a result of the poor health and nutritional status of the mother, combined with problems such as tetanus or asphyxia, trauma, low birth weight, or preterm birth. However, many of the conditions which result in perinatal death are preventable or treatable without the need for expensive technology. Against this background, this publication contains guidance on evidence-based standards for high quality care provision during the newborn period, considering the needs of mother and baby. It has been produced to assist countries with limited resources to reduce neonatal mortality. The information is arranged under four main headings: clinical assessment, findings and management; principles of newborn baby care; procedures; record keeping and essential equipment, supplies and drugs.

Every year an estimated three million newborn babies die during the first week of life due to problems such as sepsis, tetanus, or asphyxia, or problems associated with trauma, low birth weight, or preterm birth. This guide is written for the doctors, nurses, senior midwives, and other health care workers at the first referral level in low resource settings who are responsible for the care of newborn babies with problems during the first week(s) of life. The guide, based on the latest available evidence, provides up-to-date, authoritative clinical guidelines that are relevant to a facility with basic laboratory facilities, selected essential drugs and supplies, and the capability to provide safe blood transfusion. In some settings, the guide will be relevant to large health centres that provide childbirth care and have the capacity to care for sick or small newborn babies.

Each year more than 4 million children are born with birth defects. This book highlights the unprecedented opportunity to improve the lives of children and families in developing countries by preventing some birth defects and reducing the consequences of others. A number of developing countries with more comprehensive health care systems are making significant progress in the prevention and care of birth defects. In many other developing countries, however, policymakers have limited knowledge of the negative impact of birth defects and are largely unaware of the affordable and effective interventions available to reduce the impact of certain conditions. Reducing Birth Defects: Meeting the Challenge in the Developing World includes descriptions of successful programs and presents a plan of action to address critical gaps in the understanding, prevention, and treatment of birth defects in developing countries. This study also recommends capacity building, priority research, and institutional and global efforts to reduce the incidence and impact of birth defects in developing countries.

The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

The promotion of maternal health and mortality reduction is of worldwide importance, and constitutes a vital part of the UN Millennium Development Goals. The highest maternal mortality rates are in developing countries, where global and regional initiatives are needed to improve the systems and practices involved in maternal care and medical access. Taking a practical policy approach, this book covers the background and concepts underlying efforts to improve maternal and perinatal mortality, the current global situation and problems that prevent progress.

"Empowerment or Disempowerment? There are three paths to take when designing and implementing global health initiatives. One leads to the community, one leads to the health system, and the last leads to the community through the local health system. Working at the community level is more complex, and it should be considered only by programs that are experienced in doing so or in partnership with programs that have that experience. Unfortunately, this is where most short-term programs choose to partner, and this leads to many challenges. Working in and through local health systems is the best way to eliminate most of these challenges. Working at the health-system and hospital level eliminates most of the patient-safety issues associated with short-term health initiatives. It also pairs programs that understand each other together. Thinking about community-level global health initiatives is often completely foreign to most western medical programs. We term these community-based programs “horizontal,” because they arise from the community for the community. Hospital systems are programs that are vertical in nature, and western medical thinking is typically very vertical. We will look at the idea of both vertical and horizontal models in this chapter so that you can clearly identify the best fit for your global health initiatives. It is essential that we realize that using strictly vertical approaches to healthcare delivery in resource-poor communities can be more harmful than helpful. This is especially true if those projects are separated from local healthcare professionals and their services. In many cultures, everything western is better, sought after, and to be imitated, while old ways of tradition and caring should be left behind and abandoned. Alma Ata, which we will discuss later in this chapter, gave rise to the idea of horizontal community-based programs. That thinking has matured into sustainable models of healthcare and disease prevention. If your program plans to function outside hospitals in the community, then you need to invest time in learning how to design and implement horizontal community-based programs. If we do not learn, respect, and implement these methods, we may be destined to leave a legacy of disempowerment and dependence on methods of healthcare that have proven ineffective in resource-poor communities. The opposite side to this is that if we do learn these methods, there is no limit to the effect the enormous volume of short-term volunteer teams could have on child mortality, maternal mortality, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other communicable diseases. As healthcare providers trained in developed countries, we need to let go of the idea that our methods of healthcare are the only methods. There are methods short-term teams can use to serve and support such projects; we review some of these methods in this chapter." --
