Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year more than 4 million children are born with birth defects. This book highlights the unprecedented opportunity to improve the lives of children and families in developing countries by preventing some birth defects and reducing the consequences of others. A number of developing countries with more comprehensive health care systems are making significant progress in the prevention and care of birth defects. In many other developing countries, however, policymakers have limited knowledge of the negative impact of birth defects and are largely unaware of the affordable and effective interventions available to reduce the impact of certain conditions. Reducing Birth Defects: Meeting the Challenge in the Developing World includes descriptions of successful programs and presents a plan of action to address critical gaps in the understanding, prevention, and treatment of birth defects in developing countries. This study also recommends capacity building, priority research, and institutional and global efforts to reduce the incidence and impact of birth defects in developing countries.

Book excerpt: This report provides neonatal and perinatal mortality estimates by country, regional groupings and globally. For countries that do not have data, models were developed to estimate mortality. Since data on deaths come from a number of different sources, the methods used to obtain the estimates are also described. Country-specific estimates of stillbirth and early neonatal deaths are published here for the first time. Estimates of stillbirth deaths that occur during delivery (intrapartum) by regional groupings, as well as estimates of sex ratio in neonatal, early neonatal and stillbirth mortality for the developing world are also included.--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infant mortality is a major problem in Nepal, particularly for residents in remote rural areas. Lack of roads and absence of hospitals and health facilities in remote areas contribute to the problem. The objectives of this study were to assess infant mortality rate (IMR) in the three ecological zones of Nepal (Mountain, Hill and Terai) and to examine the effect of distance to health facility on the association between ecological zone and infant mortality. Methods: The Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) conducted in 2011 was used to calculate infant mortality rates for the Mountain, Hill and Terai zones of Nepal. Infant mortality was compared across three ecological zones in a sample of 5,306 live births in the five years preceding the survey. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between ecological zones and infant mortality focusing on distance to health facility and adjusting for potential confounders including maternal age at first birth, education level, total children ever born, birth interval and infant size at birth. Results: The weighted IMR in each ecological zone was calculated to be 59 (95% CI: 36-81), 44 (35-53), and 40 (33-47) infant deaths per 1000 live births for the Mountain, Hill and Terai zones, respectively. Residing in the Mountain zone was associated with a greater risk of infant mortality compared to those in the Terai zone (OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.01-2.02, p=0.04). The risk of infant mortality in the Hill zone did not differ significantly from risk in the Terai zone (OR=1.17, 95% CI: 0.86-1.57, p=0.30). The elevated risk of infant mortality in the Mountain Zone compared to the Terai zone was observed only among mothers who perceived distance to health facility as a major problem (OR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.01-2.40, p=0.04). There was no significant difference in IMRs in the three ecologic zones among births to women who did not perceive distance as a big problem. In addition, a greater percent of women in the Mountain zone reported that distance to health facilities was a big problem (70.8%) compared to 60.0% in the Hill zone and 45.6% in the Terai zone. Conclusions: The excess risk of infant mortality in the Mountain zone of Nepal is due to both 1) the higher risk of infant mortality in the Mountain zone vs. the Hill and Terai zones among births to women who perceived distance to health facilities as a big problem; and 2) the higher proportion of births in the Mountain zone where distance to health facilities is perceived to be a big problem. These findings highlight the importance of accessibility of health services, particularly in the Mountain zone of Nepal. Going forward it will be important to develop intervention strategies and programs that will target remote populations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, almost 11 million children under five years of age die from largely preventable causes, whilst about half a million women die in pregnancy, childbirth or soon after. This year's report focuses on maternal, newborn and child health issues as an integral part of progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals targets and promoting poverty reduction. It identifies exclusion as a key feature of inequity as well as a barrier to progress, and sets out strategies required to ensure universal access to health care and social health insurance systems for every mother and child, through a continuum that extends from pregnancy through childbirth, the neonatal period and childhood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide provides a full range of updated, evidence-based norms and standards that will enable health care providers to give high quality care during pregnancy, delivery and in the postpartum period, considering the needs of the mother and her newborn baby. All recommendations are for skilled attendants working at the primary level of health care, either at the facility or in the community. They apply to all women attending antenatal care, in delivery, postpartum or post abortion care, or who come for emergency care, and to all newborns at birth and during the first week of life (or later) for routine and emergency care. This guide is a guide for clinical decision-making. It facilitates the collection; analysis, classification and use of relevant information by suggesting key questions, essential observations and/or examinations, and recommending appropriate research-based interventions. It promotes the early detection of complications and the initiation of early and appropriate treatment, including time referral, if necessary. Correct use of this guide should help reduce high maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity rates prevalent in many parts of the developing world, thereby making pregnancy and childbirth safer.

Book excerpt: Having a child remains one of the biggest health risks for women worldwide. Fifteen hundred women die every day while giving birth. That's a half a million mothers every year. UNICEF's flagship publication, The State of the World's Children 2009, addresses maternal mortality, one of the most intractable problems for development work.The difference in pregnancy risk between women in developing countries and their peers in the industrialised world is often termed the greatest health divide in the world. A woman in Niger has a one in seven chance of dying during the course of her lifetime from complications during pregnancy or delivery. That's in stark contrast to the risk for mothers in America, where it's one in 4,800 or in Ireland, where it's just one in 48,000. Addressing that gap is a multidisciplinary challenge, requiring an emphasis on education, human resources, community involvement and social equality. At a minimum, women must be guaranteed antenatal care, skilled birth attendants and emergency obstetrics, and postpartum care. These essential interventions will only be guaranteed within the context of improved education and the abolition of discrimination.
