MATERNAL, NEWBORN, CHILD HEALTH AND NUTRITION
MATERNAL, NEWBORN, CHILD HEALTH AND NUTRITION (MNCHN)
This strategy aims to achieve the following immediate results:
- Every pregnancy is wanted, planned and supported
- Every pregnancy is adequately managed throughout its course
- Every delivery is facility-based and managed by skilled birth
attendants/ skilled health professionals - Every mother and newborn pair secures proper postpartum and newborn care with smooth transitions to the women’s health
The likelihood of maternal and neonatal deaths is further magnified with the critical accumulation of four risks:
- Mistimed, unplanned, unwanted and unsupported pregnancy
- Not securing adequate care during the course of pregnancy
- Delivering without being attended to by skilled health professional
- Not securing proper postpartum and newborn care for the mother and her newborn
Core package of services consists of interventions that will be delivered for each life stage: pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum and newborn period
MNCHN
Most of these services require minimal cost and can be delivered by health workers as part of their routine functions with some that may require additional training and minimal investments in facilities.
