To end preventable newborn and child deaths, care for small and sick newborns requires:
- High coverage of quality neonatal services, with family-centered models of care, organized in a network of facilities with a functional referral system
- Sufficient numbers of health-care providers with skills to care for small and sick newborns, working in partnership with parents and families
- Reaching marginalized populations
An example from Kenya showed how data on effective coverage can support evidence-based planning to improve care access and quality. NEST 360 presented the Target Product Profiles that they have developed with UNICEF to support the care of newborns in hospitals in low-resource settings.
