| Name | Achieving Results in Newborn Health: Shaping Policy and Programs to Save Newborn Lives |
| Description | While the overall health of children has improved around the world, the death rate of newborns has hardly changed. MDG 4 - to reduce child mortality by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015 - cannot be met without substantial reactions in neonatal mortality. Over the past 4 years the ACCESS Program has worked globally, regionally and in 25 countries to improve newborn health and survival. ACCESS programs address the 3 leading causes of newborn deaths - severe infections, birth asphyxia, and complications of prematurity/low birth weight - and promote ways to overcome the barriers to implementing these interventions at scale. This report provides a synopsis of the ACCESS program's approach and results in shaping policy and programs to save newborn lives. |
