  • Small and sick newborn care

    Open AccessRebecca E Penzias, Morris Ogero et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Health Facility Assessments (HFAs) are important for measuring and tracking service readiness for small and sick newborn care (SSNC). NEST360 Alliance aims to reduce neonatal mortality in four countries (Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania). NEST360 and UNICEF facilitated HFA tool design with ministries of health in four African countries and developed two complimentary approaches to summarise readiness. Using the NEST360/UNICEF HFA tool, we collect…

  • Developing context-sensitive, comprehensive newborn care protocols

    Open AccessGrace Irimu, Edith Gicheha et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2025

    Background: An estimated 2.3 million neonates die worldwide each year (47% of under-five mortality), with 75% occurring during the first week of life. The burden is highest in sub-Saharan Africa (n/N = 27/1000 neonatal mortality rate) and largely results from preventable conditions, such as prematurity, birth asphyxia, and infections. The Newborn Essential Solutions and Technologies (NEST360) programme supports health systems in resource-constrai…

  • A call to bridge the diagnostic gap

    BOX Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) bear the greatest burden of neonatal mortality, with sepsis being a major contributor

  • Beyond early initiation

    Open AccessMai‐lei Woo Kinshella, Sangwani Salimu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Improving breastfeeding practices is key to reducing child mortality globally. Sub-optimal exclusive breastfeeding rates may be associated with inadequate hospital-based postpartum breastfeeding support, particularly in resource-limited health settings such as Malawi. While almost all children in Malawi are breastfed, it is a concern that exclusive breastfeeding rates in Malawi are declining. The objective of this study is to understand postpartu…

  • A neonatal ward-strengthening program improves survival for neonates treated with CPAP at district hospitals in Malawi

    Open AccessJennifer Carns, Sara Liaghati-Mobarhan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    From 2013–2015, a CPAP quality improvement program (QIP) was implemented to introduce and monitor CPAP usage and outcomes in the neonatal wards at all government district and central hospitals in Malawi. In 2016 the CPAP QIP was extended into healthcare facilities operated by the Christian Health Association of Malawi. Although clinical outcomes improved, ward assessments indicated that many rural sites lacked other essential equipment and a suit…

  • Small and sick newborn care during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessSuman P N Rao, Nicole Minckas et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting health systems globally. Maternity care disruptions have been surveyed, but not those related to vulnerable small newborns. We aimed to survey reported disruptions to small and sick newborn care worldwide and undertake thematic analysis of healthcare providers' experiences and proposed mitigation strategies. METHODS: Using a widely disseminated online survey in three languages, we reached out to n…
