Background: Essential Newborn Care
•
The WHO developed Essential Newborn Care (ENC)
course sets minimum standards for training birth
attendants in neonatal care including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Basic resuscitation
Universal precautions
Routine neonatal care
Thermoregulation
Breastfeeding
Kangaroo mother (skin-to-skin) care
Care of the small baby
Danger signs
First Breath Protocols
The First Breath protocols were designed to
address the impact of Essential Newborn Care
(ENC) on perinatal mortality:

First Breath: Common Protocol
1. Population-based prospective study
2. 96 communities in 6 countries (7 clinical
sites) in South America, Africa, and Asia
3. 3,676 birth attendants trained in data
collection and clinical measures (fetal heart
rate monitoring, Apgar scoring etc.)
4. Active baseline data collection
5. Training in ENC
6. Post-ENC data collection

Final Conclusions
1. WHO ENC training of midwives in first level
centers reduced neonatal mortality by ~10/1000
2. This intervention was very cost-effective in first
level facilities ($5 per DALY)
3. In communities, ENC reduced fresh stillbirths
and perinatal mortality without increasing
neonatal mortality
4. Survivors of birth asphyxia have low rates of
impairment
