These babies are at high risk of dying or becoming disabled; an estimated 1 million of survivors in this group survive with a long-term disability.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 80% of the 2.4 million newborn deaths globally every year, are in low-birth-weight (LBW); two thirds of deaths happen in those born prematurely. Care in facilities for newborns is needed for the most common conditions, such as complications from prematurity, intrapartum brain injury, severe bacterial infection, pathological jaundice, and congenital conditions.

Of the 10 countries with the highest NMRs, eight are in Africa, where the majority have experienced a recent humanitarian crisis. In humanitarian settings, pregnant and post-partum women face enormous challenges to access care for themselves and for their newborns. These women are also at risk for malnutrition, sexual violence, poor mental health and unplanned pregnancies, as well as those related to births with no skilled attendants. (3)<\/p>\n<p>In high-income countries (HICs), the neonatal mortality rate is usually low, and most small newborns survive and thrive. In middle-income countries (MICs), the risk of disability for infants born between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation is nearly double that of HICs, due to deficiencies in the quality of care. In low-income countries (LICs), disability is uncommon since the smallest and sickest newborns, usually die due to lack of access to essential care or more advanced care when needed. (4)<\/p>\n<h4>What is the care needed?<\/h4>\n<p>Most newborns can survive and thrive when good quality health care, including appropriate inpatient care, is available. In order to provide appropriate care for small and sick newborns, LMICs require improvements in inpatient care to reduce mortality and avoid long-term complications. High-quality inpatient care requires an adequate space, competent professionals in all areas, and equipment and supplies to deliver the care. All newborns require essential care, particularly at the time of birth and during the first days of life, whether in a health facility or at home. Most small and sick newborns require special inpatient care, which can only be provided in a health facility. Intensive care in a high-level referral facility is only required by a third of sick newborns. In addition, the linkages between obstetric and neonatal services need to be protected and strengthened. The Survive and Thrive report provides a list of in-patient interventions proven effective in preventing newborn mortality and disability, by each level of care; and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/standards-for-improving-the-quality-of-care-for-small-and-sick-newborns-in-health-facilities\/\">WHO\u2019s standards for quality care of small and sick newborns in facilities<\/a> specify the various aspects of the health systems that need to be improved. Core interventions that should be available to all small or sick newborns beyond basic essential care for all newborns include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Kangaroo Mother Care started as soon as possible after birth for small newborns, provided as continuously as possible for at least 20 hours per day during the time the newborn is transitioning and receiving neonatal special care;<\/li>\n<li>Immediate and exclusive breastfeeding, including colostrum,\u00a0 provided by cup, spoon, or NG tube if baby is unable to breastfeed;<\/li>\n<li>Respiratory support when needed, guaranteeing safe oxygen use through blended air-oxygen and with oxygen saturation monitoring;<\/li>\n<li>CPAP for respiratory distress requiring positive airway pressure with guarantees of safe oxygen use and oxygen saturation monitoring;<\/li>\n<li>Appropriate and timely management of suspected serious infections (eg, sepsis, pneumonia, meningitis) with antibiotics and supportive care as needed;<\/li>\n<li>Family-centered care with families having continuous access to their babies in special care or neonatal intensive care, and participating in providing appropriate care of their baby;<\/li>\n<li>Developmentally supportive care for newborns and support for families to provide nurturing care in facilities and after discharge home;<\/li>\n<li>Discharge planning with parents to ensure their competence and confidence to provide essential nurturing care at home; and<\/li>\n<li>Follow up care after discharge from appropriate trained health care workers to monitor the baby\u2019s condition, support the family for KMC and nurturing care, and referral for any new danger signs or complications (including Retinopathy of Prematurity follow up for small babies receiving oxygen therapy).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The WHO released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/who-recommendations-for-care-of-the-preterm-or-low-birth-weight-infant\/\">recommendations for care of the preterm or low-birth-weight infant\u00a0<\/a>in 2022 detailing some of these core interventions.<\/p>\n<p>(1,5)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1452735746534{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>The Nurturing Care Framework for ECD<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/nurturing-care-for-early-childhood-development-a-framework-for-helping-children-survive-and-thrive-to-transform-health-and-human-potential\/\">Nurturing Care Framework for Early Childhood Development<\/a>, launched by WHO, UNICEF and the World Bank Group in 2018, demonstrates that focusing on ECD is one of the wisest investments a country can make to boost economic growth. Nurturing care is the provision of a stable environment that promotes children\u2019s health and nutrition and interactions that are responsive, emotionally supportive, and developmentally stimulating, while providing protection from threats.<\/p>\n<p>Neurosensory development begins in-utero and is responsive to positive and negative influences in the external environment from the time of birth. Hence early life exposure to hostile environment, including stress is linked to decreased brain density, with longer-term effects on learning outcomes. Newborns who are small \u2014 preterm, low birth weight, and\/or small for their gestational age \u2014 and\/or are sick \u2014 from infections, intrapartum related complications and pathological jaundice \u2014 are at heightened risk of neurodevelopmental delays and disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional inpatient care facilities expose vulnerable newborns to excess sound and light conditions in the units, potential harm from unsafe oxygen use, separation of the mother-infant dyad, leading to parental stress and negative psychological effects in addition to delayed feeding and difficulties breastfeeding which can persist after discharge. Of the 13 million preterm newborns who survive globally each year, an estimated 2.7% have moderate to severe impairments and 4.4% have mild neurodevelopmental impairments.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: lighter;\">Nurturing care for small and sick newborns is possible. Several evidence-based interventions can create a healing physical and sensory environment. These include Family Centered Care that allows for non-separation of the mother from her newborn; Kangaroo Care, including immediate initiation even when the newborn is receiving special care in the SCU\/NICU; the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative that supports the mother for breastmilk feeding; safety and security through infection prevention and control; judicious use of antibiotics; and safe oxygen use when needed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Use of data for action<\/h4>\n<p>Countries are required to improve the measurement of the care of small and sick newborns, and their later development and health in order to achieve the goal of ending all preventable deaths by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>It is of utmost importance to collect and analyze data on coverage and quality of care, including long-term outcomes in the most at-risk. In order to guide programs and investments, the continuous monitoring of data on quality of care is a key element for better results for newborns\u2019 survival and thriving.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to establish good measurement for innovations implemented in LMICs for the care of high-risk newborns. Some examples are simpler and affordable technologies, such as bubble CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), or innovative implementation approaches, such as task-shifting roles for various cadres of health workers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-43882 \" src=\"\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/hnn-content\/uploads\/kangaroo-mother-care-2020-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"546\" height=\"409\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=\".vc_custom_1593021721082{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}\"][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Cost of care and return on investment<\/h4>\n<p>The Survive and Thrive report mentions that the increased investment by LMICs to improve access to inpatient quality care for small and sick newborns is currently at US$ 0.20 per person and US$ 1,700 per newborn death averted.

Recent evidence from the lobal Burden of Disease study show that CHD has climbed to be number 2 and 4 cause of infant mortality in high-middle and middle SDI countries and to number 8 and 7 cause of infant mortality in low and low-middle SDI countries. Of the 261,247 deaths CHD caused globally in 2017, 180,624 were infants and 85% of deaths were in low-income countries.\r\n\r\n<strong>Children's HeartLink is dedicated to supporting and developing sustainable pediatric cardiac programs to prevent and treat children\u2019s heart disease in underserved areas of the world.<\/strong> We are a global leader in improving access to pediatric cardiac care. We partner with hospitals in 5 countries to help them develop their multidisciplinary pediatric cardiac programs and work to train their teams so they can be serving more children with improved surgical outcomes. Our model of phased support builds on the capacities of the local health system. We take a systems approach because we know that caring for children with heart disease doesn\u2019t occur just in the operating room. Each support phase of our partnership model is tailored to the needs of the partner hospital and includes mentoring in clinical capacity, organizational capacity, training education, and patient-centered care. After 6-10 years of partnership, when a hospi\u00adtal consistently delivers high-quality, complex care, with evidence of sta\u00adbility and sustainable outcomes, it is designated a Children\u2019s HeartLink Center of Excellence and becomes a regional training center.\r\n\r\nWe also partner with governments to help them develop a referral system for congenital heart disease and plan for pediatric cardiac services through a population health lens. This strategy seeks to influence the barriers impeding access to health care for children and ultimately ensure that high-quality care is accessible to all children in need. Barriers include: late diagnosis and late referral to heart specialists, inaccessible and costly transportation to hospitals, high treatment costs, and a limited understanding of congenital heart disease from policymakers and health systems planners.\r\n\r\nFinally, we advocate on the global and national levels to assure better awareness of the problem and inclusion of children with heart diseases in health policies and commitment by supporting research and publications that contribute to policy and decision making of stakeholders, and development and dissemination of global and national advocacy materials, and providing expert opinion in a variety of public health, child health and NCDs in children and surgical groups.
