An assessment of immediate newborn care readiness and availability in Nepal
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the gap between healthcare facility readiness and the actual availability of immediate newborn care interventions in Nepal. Addressing disparities and barriers, particularly in rural areas and local-level facilities, is crucial for improving neonatal survival. The positive link between the LDSC/SSN programme and service availability and facility readiness emphasises the significance of targeted training and mentorship programmes in enhancing newborn care across Nepal.PMID:38085010 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2023.2289735 (Source: Global Health Action)

Closing the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) introduction gap: an archetype analysis of last-mile countries
CONCLUSIONS: The current health and policy indicator-based categorisation provides an actionable framework to design tailored PCV advocacy within these last-mile countries. Policy approaches emerging from this framework can lead to strengthened decision-making on vaccine introduction and sustained vaccine access that can enhance child survival worldwide.PMID:38084434 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2023.2281065 (Source: Global Health Action)
