Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of early essential newborn care (EENC) policies and practices on breastfeeding outcomes in hospitals across East Asia and the Pacific.
- It involved 1,383 maternal interviews and assessments, showing that early skin-to-skin contact (SSC) significantly boosts exclusive breastfeeding rates, especially when lasting at least 90 minutes.
- Findings highlight the importance of supportive hospital environments—like rooming-in and absence of formula—to improve breastfeeding initiation and sustainability among newborns.
Objective: To describe the declining trend in maternal mortality observed in Mongolia from 1992 to 2007 and its acceleration after 2001 following implementation of the Maternal Mortality Reduction Strategy by the Ministry of Health and other partners.
Methods: We performed a descriptive analysis of maternal mortality data collected through Mongolia's vital registration system and provided by the Mongolian Ministry of Health. The observed declining mortality trend was analysed for statistical significance using simple linear regression.
