They propose that programme managers exploit the identified opportunities to enhance uptake of these services for the young population

Topics assessed included: (1) umbilical cord care; (2) thermal and skin care; (3) nutrition, and; (4) prevention of diarrhea, and; (5) newborn danger signs prompting care-seeking. A two-group comparison design with a convenience sample…
