Some Accomplishments to Date 27-year-old mother Nguyen Thi Nhan with her 2-day-old baby boy, Le Quang Ty. They are at the Trieu Hai Hospital in Quang Trie, Vietnam.  From 2000 to 2005, we worked to bring simple yet effective health care solutions to pregnant women and newborns in their homes and communities in developing countries. We reached 20 million women and newborns in 12 countries with proven cost effective interventions such as tetanus toxoid immunization; antenatal care; clean and safe delivery; immediate and exclusive breastfeeding; drying and warming; and early postnatal visits for both mothers and newborns. Some examples: Bangladesh - Working with strategic partners, Save the Children introduced essential newborn care to nearly 300,000 women and newborns at the household and community levels. Changes are occurring at the program sites where we work; over the past two years, the number of babies born at home who receive care within one week after birth in project areas increased from 30 percent to 57 percent. Pakistan - Over 12 million women received the three doses of vaccine that are necessary to protect pregnant women and their newborns against life-threatening maternal and neonatal tetanus. Save the Children and partners saw newborn deaths from tetanus infection drop by 50 percent over a two year period. Malawi and India - “Kangaroo Mother Care” is promoted in many hospitals as the best and least expensive way for mothers to care for their low birth weight babies. Keeping their babies wrapped skin-to-skin at all times, mothers are a constant source of warmth, breastfeeding, and bonding – an effective alternative to costly incubators. Bolivia - Saving Newborn Lives helped to integrate and strengthen Essential Newborn Care in community-based neonatal Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI). Currently, pediatricians, nurses, and auxiliary nurses from the Bolivia health system are being trained in neonatal IMCI. Save the Children helps to define and promote improved global health care policies by working with government policymakers, non-governmental organizations, health care providers and local leaders. Save the Children have helped introduce newborn health priorities into national health policies in most Saving Newborn Lives countries. Through research into the causes of newborn deaths and innovative approaches to prevent them, Save the Children hopes to realize changes in health care delivery for children and women throughout the developing world.
