​
Counsel & Monitor
Offer breastfeeding advice, monitor baby's vital signs every 4 hours, inform about 20+ danger and distress signs in babies.
Monitoring & Evaluation
Our M&E coordinators continuously monitor the programs and survey the mothers and babies in our program.
In addition to these 9 core procedures, our program extends its support to include:
Breastfeeding counseling for non-KC patients, especially when a mother and a baby are found struggling.
​
Building a KC movement by identifying KC champions who would be willing to talk about KC in their villages.
Group counseling sessions across different wards to provide comprehensive education on basic neonatal practices.
Inform mothers 4x on how they can request a visit from a community health worker at their homes after discharge.
Building strong relationships with hospital stakeholders to leverage data-driven insights for implementing hospital-level changes.
Our efforts have led to increased compliance with government policies on discharge, neonatal care and Infection Prevention and Control, as well as overall higher quality of care for mothers and babies. They have also encouraged better community healthcare.
