Implementing Models of Care for Small and/or Sick Newborns: Early Learnings From Indonesia, Mali, Nepal, and Nigeria

This analysis presents a compilation of early learnings from experiences with MOMENTUM support in Indonesia, Mali, Nepal, and Nigeria, each of which has engaged with national and subnational partners in planning for and/or implementing improved SSNC. In some cases, country governments and their maternal and newborn health partners have worked to adapt, test, and adjust the global WHO-UNICEF Comprehensive Model for Scaling up Care for SSNBs in district hospitals based on their local contexts; in others, the work to develop a country-specific model of care began prior to the release of the global guidance. The purpose of this report is to present common approaches used in the early stages of implementation of the 10 core components in this diverse set of MOMENTUM countries, along with emerging challenges and learnings.
