Document

Building on experience working to improve MNB health within communities, Save the Children conceptualized and developed the "Household to Hospital Continuum of Care"(HHCC) approach to provide pragmatic steps to ensure the
availability of and access to quality MNB services at peripheral
health facilities and district hospitals, while strengthening
linkages between them.
• The newborn health status and programmatic settings present a range of scenarios at national and sub-national levels, necessitating a differential approach to program planning
• The package of essential newborn care can be implemented incrementally, starting with simple, do-able interventions and gradually moving to the more complex ones in a stratified manner
• A mix of immediate and medium-term strategies is required to achieve low levels of neonatal mortality rates in countries with poor newborn health status to start with
• The scenario-based approach combines the above considerations and provides a roadmap for prioritizing newborn health strategies
