What Are Some Successful Public Health Programs Targeting Neonatal Disorders?
Several successful public health programs have made significant strides in reducing neonatal disorders:
1. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) - This program promotes skin-to-skin contact between mothers and preterm infants, improving thermal regulation, breastfeeding rates, and survival. 2. Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) - A WHO and UNICEF initiative that focuses on improving healthcare provider skills, health system support, and family and community practices to reduce neonatal and child mortality. 3. Born Too Soon - A global action report on preterm birth that provides recommendations and strategies for reducing the incidence and improving the outcomes of preterm births.
