At-Risk Newborns: Overlooked in Expansion From Essential Newborn Care to Small and Sick Newborn Care in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.

We propose adding the category of “at-risk” newborns for babies who are at increased risk of morbidity and/or mortality but do not require special or intensive care or monitoring to promote a 3-tiered newborn care approach in hospitals.

Cohort trial reveals community impact of insecticide-treated nets on malariometric indices in urban Ghana.

The efficacy of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in prevention of malaria and anaemia has been shown in rural settings, but their impact in urban settings is unknown. We carried out an ITN intervention in two communities in urban Accra, Ghana, where local malaria transmission is known to occur. There was evidence for a mass or community effect, despite ITN use by fewer than 35% of households.
