The first seminar in the NEW Implementation Toolkit for Small and Sick Newborn Care seminar series is coming this month!
A recent scoping review highlighted infection detection as a key gap in addressing health care-associated infections, which are a major cause of neonatal mortality in small and sick newborn care units. In this seminar, we discuss solutions to close this gap in the ward, laboratory and at the ward-laboratory interface.
