About the Course

The time of birth is the main challenge for the newborn to settle successfully into extrauterine life. Globally, every year, 2.7 million neonates die. Essential newborn care interventions protect against newborn morbidity and mortality. They include clean cord care, thermal care, including drying and wrapping of the newborn immediately after delivery and delaying the newborn's first bath for at least 24 hours (or several days to reduce hypothermia risk), and initiation of breastfeeding within the first one hour of birth, etc. About 3 million lives can be saved annually with worldwide coverage of evidence-based solutions such as care during labour and around birth by skilled birth attendants. The current lecture elaborates on the critical components of 'Essential newborn care' and its role in preventing morbidity and mortality.
