First sentence: Whether babies who need care are brought to the health care facility from home, transferred from another institution or ward, or brought from the delivery room as a result of a complicated birth, managing their care involves a cycle of planning, implementing, and evaluating care based on ongoing assessment of the baby's condition.
Description: This guide has been produced by the World Health Organization to assist countries with limited resources in their efforts to reduce neonatal mortality and to ensure care for newborn babies with problems due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth, such as asphyxia, sepsis, and low birth weight or preterm birth.
