To help address the situation, the Ministry of Health and UNICEF Somalia officially launched the first ever Every Newborn Action Plan for the country.<\/p>\n<p>The launch ceremony counted on the participation of the Minister of Health, Dr. Fawziya Abikar Nur, who inaugurated the event, as well as members of the Parliamentary Committee, senior Officials from the Federal Ministry of Health and member states, partners including Save the Children and United Nations representatives.

The analysis \u2013 which counted on support from senior Ministry of Health officials, health care providers, civil society representatives, midwifery associations, academic institutions, local and international NGOs and community leaders \u2013 identified key gaps in the effective coverage of high impact maternal and newborn interventions, as well as health system level challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Using the same consultative approach, partners developed an action plan to address key challenges both at the system and programme levels, contributing to the achievement of the National Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child and Adolescent Health Strategic Plan, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals and Universal Health Coverage targets.<\/p>\n<p>The uniqueness of the Somalia ENAP is that it has one specific strategic objective on strengthening the delivery of high-quality maternal and newborn health interventions in humanitarian and emergency settings, which will help the country strengthen and integrate newborn health into national and subnational emergency preparedness plans.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/somalia_enap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Somalia Every Newborn Action Plan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Shyam Sharan Pathak and Fatima Gohar With a newborn mortality rate of 38.5 per 1,000 live births and stillbirth rate 35.5 per 1,000 total births respectively, Somalia is one of the countries with the poorest newborn health indicators globally.

In addition, 2 million babies die in the last 3 months of pregnancy or during childbirth (stillbirths) and 295,000 maternal deaths occur each year*. We have the knowledge and tools to prevent at least two-thirds of these deaths. The global <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/every-newborn-action-plan\/\">Every Newborn Action Plan<\/a> (ENAP), launched in 2014, provides a road map of strategic actions for ending preventable newborn mortality and stillbirth and contributing to reducing maternal mortality and morbidity.\r\n<h6>*Most recent data available. Please visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/numbers\/\">Newborn Numbers<\/a> page to explore the data further (May 2022).<\/h6>\r\n<h2><b>The Plan<\/b><\/h2>\r\nThe ENAP presents evidence-based solutions to prevent newborn deaths and stillbirths. It sets out a clear path to 2020 with specific global and national milestones. The plan was based on evidence presented in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/the-lancet-every-newborn-series\/\"><em>The Lancet<\/em> Every Newborn series<\/a>, and developed within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/issue\/every-woman-every-child\/\">Every Woman Every Child<\/a> framework.\r\n\r\nIn 2014, 194 member states of the Sixty-seventh World Health Assembly endorsed the action plan (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/resolution-wha-67-10-newborn-health-action-plan\/\">Resolution WHA 67.10<\/a>). Led by UNICEF and the World Health Organization, ENAP was guided by the advice of experts and partners and by multistakeholder consultations and a web-based consultation with over 300 comments from stakeholders. The WHO Director-General has been requested to monitor progress towards the achievement of the global goal and targets, reporting periodically to the World Health Assembly until 2030.\r\n<h2><strong>The Action<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThe Every Newborn partnership enhances and supports coordinated, comprehensive planning and implementation of newborn-specific actions. These efforts have been coordinated by a management team with focused work streams: metrics, country implementation and advocacy. Other related partnerships have formed in support of <em>Every Women Every Children<\/em> including the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.qualityofcarenetwork.org\/\">Quality of Care Network<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/public-private-partnership-to-prevent-preterm-birth-presentation\/\">Partnership to Prevent Preterm Birth<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/breastfeeding-advocacy-initiative-call-action\/\">Breastfeeding Advocacy Initiative<\/a>, and others.\r\n\r\nSuccess of ENAP will come through links with global and national plans, measurement structures and accountability. By 2017, global agencies have set targets based on the shared goal to end preventable child and maternal deaths by 2030 including the Sustainable Development Goals and the <a href=\"http:\/\/globalstrategy.everywomaneverychild.org\/\">Global Strategy for Women\u2019s, Children\u2019s, and Adolescents\u2019 Health<\/a>. By 2017, at least 48 countries have established national newborn plans or integrated newborn content into their national health plans. As of 2016, over 50 countries had completed the Every Newborn tracking tool to facilitate country support in assessing progress, barriers, and resourcing technical assistance for newborn health in line with recommendations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][vc_single_image image=\"22210\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2><strong>Key
