  • Early essential newborn care

    Open AccessHoward Sobel, John Charles Scott Murray et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    In 2013, WHO partnered with Ministries of Health and development partners in nine countries in Asia and the Pacific to develop, test and scale-up of Early Essential Newborn Care (EENC), a package of simple evidence-based interventions shown to prevent or treat the most important causes of newborn morbidity and mortality, delivered around birth or in the early newborn period. This effort became the largest regional collaboration to improve the qua…

  • Scaling up kangaroo mother care in the Philippines using policy, regulatory and systems reform to drive changes in birth practices

    Open AccessAnthony Pascual Calibo, Socorro Mendoza et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    The WHO recommends kangaroo mother care (KMC) for stable preterm and low birthweight babies because it has been demonstrated to reduce mortality by up to half compared with conventional incubator-based care. Uptake of KMC in low/middle-income countries has been limited, despite its suitability for low-resource environments. This paper reviews factors that contributed to the adoption and expansion of KMC in the Philippines. Early introduction bega…

  • Association between early essential newborn care and breastfeeding outcomes in eight countries in Asia and the Pacific

    Open AccessZhao Li, Li Zhao et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between early essential newborn care (EENC) policy, practice and environmental interventions and breastfeeding outcomes. DESIGN: Cross-sectional observational study. SETTING: 150 national, provincial and district hospitals implementing EENC in eight countries in East Asia and the Pacific. PARTICIPANTS: 1383 maternal interviews, chart reviews and environmental assessments during 2016 and 2017. MAIN OUTCOME MEA…

  • Status of water, sanitation and hygiene services for childbirth and newborn care in eight countries in East Asia and the Pacific

    Open AccessPriya Mannava, John CS Murray et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2019

    Background: Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services are critical to providing quality maternal and neonatal care in health facilities. This study aimed to investigate availability of WASH policies, standards, and services for childbirth and newborn care in hospitals in East Asia and the Pacific. Methods: Descriptive analysis of survey data and observations of water, sanitation and hygiene services in maternity and neonatal care rooms and of…

  • Local and foreign authorship of maternal health interventional research in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Matthew F Chersich et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Researchers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are under-represented in scientific literature. Mapping of authorship of articles can provide an assessment of data ownership and research capacity in LMICs over time and identify variations between different settings. METHODS: Systematic mapping of maternal health interventional research in LMICs from 2000 to 2012, comparing country of study and of affiliation of first authors. …

  • Perspectives on the methods of a large systematic mapping of maternal health interventions

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Victor Becerril-Montekio et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Mapping studies describe a broad body of literature, and differ from classical systematic reviews, which assess more narrowly-defined questions and evaluate the quality of the studies included in the review. While the steps involved in mapping studies have been described previously, a detailed qualitative account of the methodology could inform the design of future mapping studies. OBJECTIVES: Describe the perspectives of a large rese…

  • Mapping of research on maternal health interventions in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Duane Blaauw et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Progress in achieving maternal health goals and the rates of reductions in deaths from individual conditions have varied over time and across countries. Assessing whether research priorities in maternal health align with the main causes of mortality, and those factors responsible for inequitable health outcomes, such as health system performance, may help direct future research. The study thus investigated whether the research done in…

  • Translation, cultural adaptation and field-testing of the Thinking Healthy Program for Vietnam

    Open AccessJane Fisher, Hau Nguyen et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2014

    BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are prevalent among women in low- and lower-middle income countries who are pregnant or have recently given birth. There is promising evidence that culturally-adapted, evidence-informed, perinatal psycho-educational programs implemented in local communities are effective in reducing mental health problems. The Thinking Healthy Program (THP) has proved effective in Pakistan. The aims were to adapt the THP for rur…
