Community-Based Newborn Care (CBNC)
Community-Based Newborn Care (CBNC) is a strategy designed to improve the survival of newborns and reduce newborn and child mortality. L10K worked with HEWs to improve their skills across the 4 Cs of care (contact, case-identification, care, and completion), including management of newborn sepsis. L10K also provided an orientation on CBNC to health center staff to prepare them to support HEWS with case management. The project also worked with WDA members and other community mobilization mechanisms to improve RMNCH practices and care-seeking and referral linkages. As a result of L10K's partnership with the Federal Ministry of Health and the success of the intervention, CBNC is now a national newborn care package, and frontline health workers use it along the continuum of care (pregnancy to post-pregnancy).
