What Initiatives Have Been Successful?

Save the Children has implemented several successful initiatives to combat neonatal disorders:
Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC): Promoting KMC, a method of care for preterm infants that involves skin-to-skin contact with the mother, which helps regulate the baby's temperature, improve breastfeeding, and reduce the risk of infection.
Essential Newborn Care (ENC): Training healthcare providers in ENC practices, such as immediate and exclusive breastfeeding, thermal care, and hygienic cord care.
Community Health Worker Programs: Deploying community health workers to educate mothers and families about neonatal health, recognize danger signs, and facilitate timely referrals to healthcare facilities.
