Reducing one million child deaths from birth asphyxia – a survey of health systems gaps and priorities

BACKGROUND Millions of child deaths and stillbirths are attributable to birth asphyxia, yet limited information is available to guide policy and practice, particularly at the community level. We surveyed selected policymakers, programme implementers and researchers to compile insights on policies, programmes, and research to reduce asphyxia-related deaths. METHOD A questionnaire was developed...

The impact of maternal health improvement on perinatal survival: cost-effective alternatives.

Each year, an estimated half million women die from complications related to child birth either during pregnancy, delivery or within 42 days afterwards. When pregnant women have complications, their infants are at greater risk of becoming ill, permanently disabled or dying. For every maternal death, there are at least 20 infant deaths: stillbirths, neonatal or postneonatal deaths. Altogether, a...

Setting health research priorities using the CHNRI method: I. Involving funders

In 2007 and 2008, the World Health Organization's Department for Child and Adolescent Health and Development (later renamed as WHO MNCAH – Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health) commissioned five large exercises to define research priorities related to the five major causes of child deaths for the period up to the year 2015. The exercises were based on the CHNRI (Child Health and Nutri...
