In fact, 9 of every 10 new-born deaths are preventable. While some progress has been made to reduce these deaths over the past decade, the rate of change is not fast enough for Nigeria to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n Key interventions and packages that could prevent 70% of new-born deaths in Nigeria exist, but coverage is low. The policies are in place; however action is needed at state and local levels to increase coverage and quality of life-saving interventions while closing the equity gap for the poorest families.<\/p>\n Save the Children, through the Health workers\u2019 capacity building project, is committed to improving quality Maternal, New-born and child health services through capacity building of frontline health workers and advocating to influence policy changes related to MNCH indices.<\/p>\n Essential New-born Care<\/strong> Essential newborn care includes:<\/p>\n There is good evidence that adherence to recommended essential newborn care practices substantially reduces mortality risk, especially for very small newborns.<\/p>\n Nigeria in 2008 adopted the WHO Essential Newborn Care Course package.

\nNigeria, Africa\u2019s most populous country with a population of over 180 million people, is ranked the second largest contributor to the under\u2013five mortality rate in the world and the largest contributor in Africa. Nigeria\u2019s newborn death rate (neonatal mortality) is put at 528 newborn deaths per day (one of the highest in the world). More than a quarter of the estimated 1 million children who die under the age of 5 years annually in Nigeria die during the first 28 days of life (neonatal period).<\/p>\n
\nEssential Newborn Care (ENC) is care that every newborn baby needs regardless of where it is born or its size. ENC should be applied immediately after the baby is born and continued for at least the first 7 days after birth. Many ENC interventions are simple and can be provided by a Skilled Birth Attendant (SBA) or a trained Community Health Worker (CHW).<\/p>\n\n
