Description : BACKGROUND
Maternal, newborn and child health have made great achievements in the past five years; however, there remain challenges in the adoption of evidence-based practices and the quality of care. Inequity of service provision is observed in the Western Pacific Region, and needs to be addressed through systematic approaches. The Maternal and Child Health, and Health Facility Quality and Safety (MCQ) unit of the WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific (WPRO) has developed and scaled up the Early Essential Newborn Care (EENC) programme of interventions by improving the quality and coverage of key newborn services and demand for these services. EENC is a package of interventions delivered to the mother and newborn between delivery and the first three days after birth. WHO/WPRO is also piloting EENC with Caesarean section and the introduction of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) for preterm and low-birth-weight babies. At the same time, countries have requested support in the use of practical programme approaches to assess and strengthen primary health care (PHC) services for women and children, linked and integrated with EENC. At the regional level, a number of activities are now required to support EENC and PHC programming, including finalization of regional tools and methods; mentoring of staff in the use of new methods; and documentation of progress through data analysis and development of reports and papers for publication in peer reviewed journals.
