“…However, it is becoming clear that different approaches to pregnancy and parenthood will be needed. Preparation for pregnancy and preconception care has been one recent focus 48,75,130 . Previously, the main preconception focus of health services has been on the prevention of unintended pregnancy through provision of contraception 131 .…”

Adolescent growth and social development shape the early development of offspring from preconception through to the post-partum period through distinct processes in males and females. At a time of great change in the forces shaping adolescence, including the timing of parenthood, investments in today’s adolescents, the largest cohort in human history, will yield great dividends for future generations.

Advancing the newborn and stillbirth global agenda: priorities for the next decade

Remarkable advances have been made over the past decade in defining the burden of newborn mortality and morbidity and stillbirths, and in identifying interventions to address the major risk factors and causes of deaths. However, progress in saving newborn lives and preventing stillbirths in countries lags behind that for maternal mortality and for children aged 1-59 months. To accelerate progress, greater focus is needed on improving coverage, quality and equity of care at birth -particularly obstetric care during labour and childbirth, and care for small and sick newborns, which gives a triple return on investment, reducing maternal and newborn lives as well as stillbirths. Securing nationallevel political priority for newborn health and survival and stillbirths, and implementation of the Every Newborn Action Plan are critical to accomplishing the unfinished global agenda for newborns and stillbirths beyond 2015.BACKGROUND

“…Over 660,000 neonatal deaths are from intrapartum-related events (previously termed "birth asphyxia") and now account for a greater number of under-5 deaths than malaria or HIV (1)(2)(3). The survivors often have significant morbidity and account for 42 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) globally (2,3).…”

Using quality improvement to decrease birth asphyxia rates after ‘Helping Babies Breathe’ training in Kenya

et al. 2017

Aim: The Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) programme is known to decrease neonatal mortality in low-resource settings but gaps in care still exist. This study describes the use of quality improvement to sustain gains in birth asphyxia-related mortality after HBB.Methods: Tenwek Hospital, a rural referral hospital in Kenya, identified high rates of birth asphyxia (BA). They developed a goal to decrease the suspected hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (SHIE) rate by 50% within six months after HBB. Rapid cycles of change were used to test interventions including training, retention and engagement for staff/ trainees and improved data collection. Run charts followed the rate over time, and chi-square analysis was used.
