About this title

Synopsis

Newborn deaths now comprise nearly half of all deaths in children under the age of five years, and improvements in maternal mortality worldwide has been slower than expected. The global community has reached consensus on a recommended package of essential interventions for saving mothers and newborn lives that include interventions delivered to mothers and newborns, and on a set of associated indicators to enable assessment of progress with their scale-up. The Every Newborn Action Plan (ENAP), launched in 2014, includes a monitoring framework and an approach to increase the availability of high quality data on these indicators. The Sustainable Development Goal Framework also includes explicit targets on maternal and neonatal mortality a reflection of the growing recognition of maternal and newborn survival as core to overall development. These global calls to action have spurred efforts to collect more data on maternal and newborn health. Large populationbased household survey programs such as the USAID supported Demographic Health Surveys (DHS) and the UNICEF supported Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), for example, have added new questions and modules to generate better data on newborns. More information on the intrapartum and postnatal periods is also now being collected through health facility surveys and routine health information system. This book represents a collective effort of experts from academic, non-governmental institutions, large household survey programs, and United Nations agencies to examine how well these new data meet global and national monitoring needs, and any associations they show between the uptake of essential maternal and newborn interventions and health outcomes for the mother and baby. The papers included in the supplement describe the coverage, availability and quality of maternal and newborn interventions, identify data gaps on maternal and newborn health, and compare the methodology used in the MICS and DHS for the measurement of newborn indicators.
