New Born & Child Health Key Strategies • Increase coverage of skilled care at birth for newborns in conjunction with maternal care 2. Implement, by 2010, a newborn and child health package of preventive, promotive and curative interventions using a comprehensive IMNCI approach
New Born & Child Health Key Strategies under RCH II/NRHM 3. Strengthen and augment existing services (care at birth/Essential New born /care, ARI and diarrhea control) in areas where IMNCI is yet to be implemented. 4. Implement the multi year strategic plan for the UIP (Universal Immunization Program)
CHILD HEALTH INTERVENTIONS • Essential new born Care • Integrated management of neonatal and Child hood Illness • Exclusive Breast Feeding and Timely introduction of complimentary Feeding • Immunization
CHILD HEALTH INTERVENTIONS • Vitamin A and Iron and folic acid supplementation • Early detection and management of ARI/ diarrhoea and other infections • referral care • pre service training
CHILD HEALTH Interventions Essential New born Care • Initiation of early • breast feeding. • Rooming/ keeping • baby warm • Resuscitation. • Infection prevention • Immunization
CHILD HEALTH Interventions- Breast Feeding • Early Initiation • Excusive feeding till 6 months • Starting Complementary feeding at 6 months
CHILD HEALTH Interventions - Diarrhoeal disease • Increase ORS Use rate /addition of Zinc • Prevention • of diarrhea (Safe Water, Contd. feeding) • Rational drug usage
CHILD HEALTH Interventions - ARI Management • Early recognition • of fast breathing • Cotrimoxazole administration for Pneumonia • Rational drug usage
CHILD HEALTH Interventions - Immunizations • Complete Immunization schedule in first year • Supplementation of • Vitamin A and Iron
CHILD HEALTH Interventions – Integrated Management of Neonatal and childhood Illness • Appropriate care of • sick new born • and sick child. • Recognition of • Danger Signs • Counseling • on Breast Feeding • and Nutrition
CHILD HEALTH Interventions – Referral / Facility Care • Care of Sick • New born /Child • Emergency Assessment /Care. • Management of • Malnutrition. • Pilot in MP
Interventions – Home Based Care • Care of Sick • New born at Home • Based on Gadchiroli Model. • Pilot in UP, Bihar, Orissa, • Rajasthan and MP
Child health Indicators • Infant Mortality Rate/Under five mortality Rate. • % of children visited within 24 hrs of and on 3rd and the 7th day of delivery by a trained provider. • % of children who were breast fed within 1 hr of delivery and exclusively for 6 months. • % of children fully immunized.
Child health Indicators 6. % of children with Anaemia and who received IFA syrup. 7. % of children with ARI and % of children with ARI who received antibiotic and were referred to health centre. 8. % of children with diarrhoea who received ORS and were referred to health centre. 9. % of children who have received Vit A all nine doses
Methodology • Analysis of: NFHS I, II, III, DLHS III, MIS, on CH indicators • Assessment of field visits to States. • Visits to health facilities (District Hospitals, CHC/FRU, PHC, SC • Meetings with health providers at State and district level • Meetings with NGO’s and other stakeholders. • Meeting with beneficiaries and community
Exclusive Breast Feeding • All states show improvement exceptUP, Goa and AP • 3 better performing StatesExclusive B-fd • Jharkhand (49.7%) • Chhattisgarh (43.2%) • Orissa (43.1%) Performance of other States • Kerala ( 22 % ) • T.N (23 %) • A.P. ( 33%) • Goa (28%) • Puducherry (26 %) • Bihar reported least exclusive breast fed children (12%) No state has achieved rate of 50%
High drop out rates (>15%) remains critical issue in Bihar, MP and UP
Home visits for New Born across several districts* * • 63% Home visits on day-1 of reported births • 61% 3 home visits in first 10 days Implementation information available from limited districts
Initiatives in Pipeline • F-IMNCI (IMNCI and Facility based care in the process of finalization) • Newborn Health Care strategy on the anvil • School Health Programme • Pentavalent Vaccine
Innovative Schemes • District Child Health Co-ordinator (Rajasthan, MP, Orissa) • ISO certification of District Hospitals. Standard Protocols for New Born and Sick New Born at District Hospitals (Gujarat) • New Born Care Kits (2 Baby Mattresses; 4 Baby Jackets; 3 Baby Caps; 3 pairs of Gloves; 12 Baby Diapers and 8 Baby Blankets) (AP) • Health information help line
Way Forward • Strengthen Care at birth (Essential Newborn care) at all facilities (logistics and capacity) • Scale up IMNCI • Training pace (In Service / Pre Service ) • Implementation ( in districts ) • Supportive supervision • Reporting & monitoring • Accelerate facility based care for sick newborn and children with standard protocols • Intensify BCC for Child Health: feeding practices, ORT, ARI, newborn care practices • Training of health providers in non-IMNCI districts on newborn care, ARI and Diarrhea
