Giving birth in a center where assisted delivery or caesarian section can be provided quickly can also save a baby\u2019s life.

The first program Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) was developed in 2010 by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in keeping with WHO recommendations. Studies have shown that it can reduce neonatal mortality by up to 47%; saving thousands of asphyxiated newborns. The success of HBB led to a global request for additional programs (such as Essential Care for Every Baby, Essential Care for Small Babies, and Improving Care of Mothers and Babies) addressing other leading causes of newborn death by equipping providers with the necessary skills and competencies to deliver high quality care to newborns during and after birth.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>The partnership is not only providing competency-based, hands-on training to service providers but working with ministries of health and their partners to provide functional resuscitation equipment for all health facilities where babies are born.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Essential Newborn Care Course<\/h4>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-1614 size-full alignnone\" src=\"\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/hnn-content\/uploads\/small-essentialnewborncare2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"230\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Please note this section will be updated in 2022.

This reflects the observation that for women delivering at home without ready access to emergency obstetrical care, support from traditional birth attendants proved inadequate to substantially reduce risk of death for the mother or newborn. Considerable effort has been expended in many settings to help ensure that women give birth with the assistance of qualified human resources, specifically a health worker, and generally in a health facility.<\/p>\n<p>However, in many instances there has not\u00a0been equal attention given to the actual substance of the care provided or the necessary supports to enable health workers to provide adequate care. In recent years, there has been increasing attention in program work to the quality and content of maternal-newborn services, particularly around the time of birth. This is reflected in current work at the World Health Organization on improving quality of maternal-newborn health care.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]Part of what is implied in the \u201cskilled birth attendance\u201d strategy is that assisting in childbirth does not necessarily require a physician. Many interventions related to maternal-newborn health can be competently delivered by categories of health workers with comparatively modest training.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, certain maternal-newborn services can be provided by categories of health workers labelled as \u201ccommunity health workers\u201d (CHWs). This is a broad designation that includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Health auxiliaries with training sometimes approaching that of registered nurses<\/li>\n<li>Paid full-time workers with several months of basic training<\/li>\n<li>Non-salaried but financially \u201cincentivized\u201d workers, typically working less than full-time<\/li>\n<li>Volunteers providing services on a periodic or intermittent basis with little or no financial incentives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=\"13796\" add_caption=\"yes\" alignment=\"center\" css_animation=\"appear\"][vc_column_text]In some settings, there is more than one tier of CHWs.\u00a0When robustly supported (as they can be under project conditions), non-salaried and volunteer CHWs have been demonstrated as effective for various maternal- and newborn-related services. There are fewer examples of such work being effectively delivered at national scale, under non-project conditions. A very important but frequently neglected factor is the supports needed for effective programs.<\/p>\n<p>The issue is not so much,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>can <\/strong>CHWs be effective for a particular service?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But rather,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>what supports are necessary<\/strong> for effectiveness?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>are such supports feasible at scale<\/strong> under normal, non-project conditions?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Program efforts commonly address health worker knowledge and skills. This is typically done primarily by training. Motivation is less often given focused attention. Certainly, some aspects of performance can be positively affected by financial incentives, although such incentives can also have unintended negative consequences. However, motivation is more than just a matter of incentives.<\/p>\n<p>In many settings, legitimate and illegitimate absences from work significantly undermine reliable access to services. This can be a consequence, for example, of frequent off-site trainings. There are also many settings where health workers are either frequently away from their posts without authorization or where they offer services only for very limited periods of time each day.<\/p>\n<p>Even when health workers are at their posts, their practices are affected not only by material they may have been exposed to in training but also by other influences on what they consider appropriate care. For example, health workers may be well aware of what treatments are recommended or authorized in national treatment guidelines but may -- for any number of reasons -- prefer to offer treatments not reflected in official protocols. For human resources program efforts to be effective in ensuring availability of appropriate care, they need to respond to the actual factors influencing health worker practices.<\/p>\n<p>Supervision is often mentioned as an important performance factor in health worker practices. Certainly under project conditions, there are numerous examples of \u201csupportive technical supervision\u201d or \u201cmentoring\u201d that appear to have made a positive contribution to quality of care. There are, however, far fewer examples of this function being effectively delivered under non-project conditions. Health-facility-level quality improvement efforts can serve a somewhat similar function, whereby groups of health staff work collectively to improve performance, holding each other accountable.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Key resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.who.int\/iris\/handle\/10665\/77764\">WHO Recommendations: Optimizing health worker roles for maternal and newborn health<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","post_title":"Human resources for health","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"human-resources","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-02 15:22:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-02 19:22:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/?post_type=issue&#038;p=124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"issue","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":133,"post_author":"7211","post_date":"2015-10-21 15:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2015-10-21 15:20:35","post_content":"<p>[vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1453403441710{margin-top: -60px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Many countries experiencing humanitarian crises, including civil conflict, recurring natural disasters, or both, also have severe newborn and maternal mortality.

Further studies and efforts to improve measurements are encouraged in order to better track progress and increase accountability.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\" el_class=\"issue-stats\"][vc_row_inner content_placement=\"middle\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"text-red\" width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">29<\/span>m<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1655835486516{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">babies were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\/item\/13-01-2021-early-childhood-development-in-conflict-affected-countries-is-key-to-life-long-health-wellbeing-and-prosperity-says-who-and-partners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">born into conflict-affected areas<\/a> in 2018<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner content_placement=\"middle\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"text-yellow\" width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">500<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1655835996933{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unfpa.org\/sites\/default\/files\/pub-pdf\/UNFPA_HumanitAction_2019_PDF_Online_Version_16_Jan_2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">number of women and girls who die <\/a>from complications due to pregnancy and childbirth every day in countries facing humanitarian and fragile contexts<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner content_placement=\"middle\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"text-blue\" width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">40<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1655836784867{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/refugee-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">percentage of refugees<\/a> who are children<br \/>\nunder the age of 18<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner content_placement=\"middle\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"text-green\" width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"ticker\">45<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1576100716179{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unfpa.org\/sites\/default\/files\/pub-pdf\/Humanitarian_2017_Overview-Final_updated-11_Jan_2017_web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">percentage of newborn deaths<\/a> occurring in countries affected by humanitarian crises and fragility<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">All data on this page represents the most recent data available, unless otherwise noted.

Access to essential services before, during, and after pregnancy in these settings is severely restricted. As the number of people affected by conflict, natural disasters, and other emergencies increases, the gap between needs and resources is growing. There is a growing demand from responders and governments to provide for the most vulnerable groups. When a baby is born in an emergency setting, the number of risks that are encountered in the first days of life may seem insurmountable \u2014 but even in these precarious situations, many of the deaths that occur around the time of birth are preventable. We can do something to help.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">The global health cluster that is led by the World Health Organization has agreed on and recently revised the <a href=\"https:\/\/iawg.net\/resources\/misp-calculator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minimum Initial Service Package<\/a> for reproductive health in crisis situations. The <a href=\"https:\/\/iawgfieldmanual.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Inter-Agency Field Manual and MISP reference sheet<\/a> are also available. Recognizing the gap for newborns, an inter-agency group of stakeholders and UN agencies developed additional evidence and guidelines, and coordinate advocacy for newborn health in humanitarian emergencies.
