N13 Maternal and Child Health AY 2021-2022 (Decoupled)

Essential Intrapartal and Newborn Care (EINC) is a set of evidence-based interventions done as a standard of care for low-risk births. Years of research evidence bundled in the protocol have saved the lives of many mothers and their newborns. It lays out unnecessary interventions throughout the stages of labor which can be potentially harmful for the mother and her fetus. Can you name a few from what we have discussed previously?

For Essential Newborn Care (Unang Yakap), it constitutes a step-by-step, time-bound sequence of actions in care of the newborn immediately after birth. It centralizes the four core steps that will be demonstrated in this session.
