Broadly, the major elements of postnatal care include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>counseling and health education on recognition of danger signs and appropriate care-seeking (for both mother and newborn)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>counseling and health education on routine care practices such as exclusive breastfeeding and good thermal care practices<\/li>\r\n \t<li>dispensing and related counseling for routine preventive interventions (such as chlorhexidine for cord-stump care and postnatal iron supplementation)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>assessment and case-management and referral for any identified complications or risk conditions<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIt is through the same contacts that we have opportunities to improve outcomes for both mother and newborn, so programs and services\u00a0should focus on needed care for both. This more integrated perspective is reflected in the most recent guidance from\u00a0the World Health Organization\u00a0(see Resources below).\r\n\r\nHome visitation by community health workers has been promoted as a postnatal care strategy based on promising pilots in South Asia that demonstrated potential for reducing newborn deaths. However, it has proven difficult to achieve comparable benefits under more routine conditions at scale.\r\n\r\nWith the marked increases in institutional deliveries seen in many settings in recent years, there is increasing attention being given to taking better advantage of the time before discharge to ensure delivery of key aspects of postnatal care. Challenges to taking optimal advantage of this contact include the very high volume of births in some centers and the common practice of early discharge.\r\n\r\nFollow-up visits to the health facility for postnatal care can provide an important opportunity to ensure assessment, care, and provision of important counseling. Suitable timing and content of such care will depend on the overall configuration of postnatal care services specific to the setting.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=\"Key Resources\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/who-recommendations-on-maternal-and-newborn-care-for-a-positive-postnatal-experience\/\">WHO recommendations on maternal and newborn care for a positive postnatal experience (2022)<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","post_title":"Postnatal care","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"postnatal-care","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-17 18:49:11","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-17 22:49:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/?post_type=issue&p=134","menu_order":0,"post_type":"issue","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":323,"post_author":"7211","post_date":"2016-01-12 17:55:54","post_date_gmt":"2016-01-12 17:55:54","post_content":"<p>[vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1453922923730{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>As reflected in Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 and now the Sustainable Development Goals, our objective is to <strong>reduce the global burden of preventable deaths<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n<p>In the case of newborn work, we focus particularly on stillbirths, maternal deaths, and newborn deaths.

In some instances the interventions are already available and in use but at low effective coverage. In these cases improved delivery is needed \u2013 which may entail strengthened implementation or new delivery strategies. In situations where effective interventions are novel and not yet widely introduced, these methods may require some kind of scaling-up process to increase coverage. Because there are important differences between settings, a specific strategy or package will not be the answer for all settings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Key resources<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.expandnet.net\/tools.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Expandnet scale-up resources<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msiworldwide.com\/sites\/default\/files\/additional-resources\/2018-11\/ScalingUp_3rdEdition.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scaling Up\u2014From Vision to Large-scale Change: A Management Framework for Practitioners<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/implementationscience.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s13012-016-0374-x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A framework for scaling up health interventions: lessons from large-scale improvement initiatives in Africa.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcsprogram.org\/resources\/lessons-learned-from-the-scale-up-experience-of-six-high-impact-interventions-in-reproductive-maternal-newborn-and-child-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lessons Learned from the Scale-Up Experience of Six High-Impact Interventions in Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Related\u00a0resources<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/hnn-content\/uploads\/Empty-Scale-up-Meeting-Report.pdf\">Empty Scale-Up Meeting Report<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/hnn-content\/uploads\/Empty-Scale-Up-Working-Paper_Dec2016.pdf\">Empty Scale-Up\u00a0Draft Working Paper<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_btn title=\"Scaling Up Substance Working Group\" color=\"1\" link=\"url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthynewbornnetwork.org%2Fworking-group%2Fscaling-up-substance%2F||\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Note: This working group is for members only.
