Since 2000, Save the Children\u2019s SNL program has worked as a catalyst towards ensuring that newborn health and survival is on global and national agendas. SNL seeks to achieve equitable and effective coverage of high-impact newborn services and practices institutionalized at scale.\r\n\r\nSNL currently works in partnership with 7 countries to reduce newborn mortality, improve newborn health and bring high-impact interventions to scale. In 4 countries \u2013 Bangladesh, Malawi, Nepal, and Uganda - the program works through partnerships with government and stakeholders to achieve and document the scale-up of newborn health interventions. These countries have achieved substantial policy and system readiness for scale-up and are positioned for accelerated change in service delivery and health outcomes. In 3 additional countries \u2013 Ethiopia, India, and Nigeria \u2013 SNL coordinates with government and partners to develop policies, program experience, and evidence in order to promote the effective and sustainable scale-up of key interventions. SNL collaborates closely with governments and implementing partners, and provides direct support to the design, development and implementation of national strategies and policies to improve the quality and availability of care for mothers and newborns.

MCSP is a global, USAID Cooperative Agreement to introduce and support high-impact health interventions with a focus on 24 high-priority countries with the ultimate goal of ending preventable maternal and child deaths within a generation. The Program is focused on ensuring that all women, newborns and children most in need have equitable access to quality health care services to save lives.\r\n\r\n<strong>Save the Children Campaigns:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAs an independent and global organization, Save the Children has a powerful voice in campaigning for long-term change, and a track record of success.

They also stimulate dialogue, capture and diffuse existing knowledge, support collaboration, organize members around purposeful action, generate new knowledge and help to connect people who might not ordinarily interact. Given these features, COPs are uniquely positioned to help drive the research-to-use process by supporting stakeholder engagement, knowledge management, research translation, and research dissemination.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=\"Key resources\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/apps.who.int\/iris\/bitstream\/10665\/181426\/1\/9789241509268_eng.pdf\">Managing possible serious bacterial infection in young infants when referral is not feasible.<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/operationalizing-management-of-sick-young-infants-with-possible-serious-bacterial-infection-psbi-when-referral-is-not-feasible-in-the-context-of-existing-maternal-newborn-and-child-health-programm\/\">Operationalizing management of sick young infants with possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI) when referral is not feasible in the context of existing maternal, newborn, and child health programmes<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/pdfs\/journals\/langlo\/PIIS2214-109X(14)70347-X.pdf\">Safety and efficacy of alternative antibiotic regimens compared with 7-day injectable procaine benzyl penicillin and gentamicin for outpatient treatment of neonates and young infants with clinical signs of severe infection when referral is not possible: a randomized, open-label, equivalence trial.<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(14)62284-4\/abstract\">Simplified antibiotic regimens compared with injectable procaine benzyl penicillin plus gentamicin for treatment of neonates and young infants with clinical signs of possible serious bacterial infection when referral is not possible: a randomized, open-label, equivalence trial.<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(14)62285-6\/abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oral amoxicillin compared with injectable procaine benzyl penicillin plus gentamicin for treatment of neonates and young infants with fast breathing when referral is not possible: a randomized, open-label, equivalence trial<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(14)62285-6\/abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Outpatient treatment for neonates and young infants with clinically suspected severe infection<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/institutionalizing-the-management-of-sick-young-infants-kenyas-experience-in-revising-national-guidelines-on-integrated-management-of-newborn-and-childhood-illnesses\/\">Institutionalizing the Management of Sick Young Infants: Kenya\u2019s Experience in Revising National Guidelines on Integrated Management of Newborn and Childhood Illnesses<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","post_title":"Treatment of possible severe bacterial infection (PSBI)","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"treatment-of-possible-severe-bacterial-infection","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-13 11:49:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-13 16:49:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/?post_type=issue&p=411","menu_order":0,"post_type":"issue","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"regions":[],"countries":[],"views":"1136"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/44302"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/resource"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7211"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/44302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"toolkit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/toolkit?post=44302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
