Quote of the month: “We are convinced that the truth stops at what we have learned in our schools; we are afraid to empower communities and lose importance… we just prefer to study the community approach and talk about it. But we do not want to implement it.”
Simon Kabore (HIFA Member, Directeur Exécutif du Réseau Accès aux Médicaments Essentiels, Burkina Faso), translated from a posting on the HIFA-French forum

Newborn Care

Each year an estimated 2.7 million babies die during the first 28 days of life and over a million children survive with impairment following neonatal conditions.  The main causes of neonatal death are complications of prematurity (36%), infections (23%), and intrapartum complications (23%). Many of these deaths are preventable.
