Newborn Units in India
More than 00 units “operational”, more
than 100 in pipeline
Rapid expansion between 2005-2010
Partnership between UNICEF/ NNF/
national and state governments
Plans to have at-least one SCNU in
each district
Supported by network of Newborn
Stabilization Units at first referral units,
and newborn care corners in each
“delivery-point”

Assessment of 8 Special Care
Newborn units in India
Assess the effectiveness in improving newborn
survival
Understand the operational bottlenecks that affect their
functioning and limit their effectiveness
Sieve out lessons for scaling up SCNUs in India and
other similar settings
