Rising Prevalence of Newborn Disorders

However, this could be avoided to some extent by using efficient ways to diagnose and screen newborns. To regulate the situation, the WHO recommends post-natal care by skilled medical professionals within the first 24 hours of childbirth.

According to UNICEF (United Nations Children's Emergency Fund), post-natal care includes the first six weeks of care provided to a newborn following birth. It also says that thorough monitoring for the first two days can prevent neonatal fatalities. Along with post-natal care, it also suggests household survey programs such as Demographic and Health surveys (DHS) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) to analyze child-mother care. Additionally, non-government organizations across many countries  are also working to raise awareness regarding child & mother care.
