This updated manual for nurses, medical students, and doctors provides information on normal features, behavior, care after birth, and common problems of newborn babies in developing countries. The importance and structure of community perinatal services is explained and the simple yet highly effective practice of kangaroo care for premature babies is described. This edition pays particular attention to the problem of birth asphyxia and subsequent hypoxic brain damage, as they remain the major causes of death and severe handicapping in full-term infants on the African continent. It also addresses the burgeoning crisis of HIV transmission from mother to infant and the current methods of prevention. Less common and rare disorders are also covered and up-to-date information on recent gene discoveries is included.
