World Health Organization (WHO) Research to Improve Survival of Small and Sick Newborns: Impact and Implications for Program

Session Information

The World Health Organization (WHO) has been supporting multi-country research to support newborns to survive and thrive. This panel discussion will bring together critical new evidence for the survival of newborns. Four large WHO randomized controlled trials, some of which have been published recently, have led to new ongoing implementation research. The aim of the panel is to make participants aware of the research and to discuss the implications of the results for the country-level program and scale-up.
