The MDG Challenge for Safe and Quality Care for Birthing Mothers & Newborns Millenium Development Goals 4 and 5
UN Summit on MDG held on December 2000 in Geneva and attended by 189 Heads of States.
Adoption of a global action plan to achieve the eight anti-poverty goals by their 2015 target date.
The Essential Intrapartum and Newborn Care (EINC) Protocol
Announcement of major new commitments for womens and childrens health. Goals 4 and 5 relate to the reduction of child mortality by two-thirds and improvement of maternal health.
Global Situation
Almost 11 million children under 5 years of age will die from causes that are largely preventable.
Among them are 4 million babies who will not survive the first month of life.
The Essential Intrapartum and Newborn Care (EINC) Protocol
Global Situation
More than half a million women will die during pregnancy and childbirth. The Philippines is one of the 42 nations that account for 90% of global under-five mortality.
National Situation
An estimated 82,000 Filipino children die annually before even reaching their 5th birthday. Almost one-half (45 percent) of these children are newborns less than 28 days old.
But the downward trend leveled off in the past 10 years because the neonatal mortality rate remained practically unchanged.
The Essential Intrapartum and Newborn Care (EINC) Protocol
At present, around 40, 000 newborns die in the country each year from complications of prematurity (41%), birth asphyxia (15%) or severe infection (16%).
Most of the deaths occur within the first two days of life, with conditions surrounding labor, delivery and the immediate postpartum period as contributory factors.
The Essential Intrapartum and Newborn Care (EINC) Protocol
Only if measures are instituted to reduce newborn mortality more rapidly can we hope to achieve MDG 4 by 2015.
