Article Synopsis
- Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rates of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) globally, but effective management strategies, particularly therapeutic hypothermia (TH), are limited and controversial.
- A survey conducted in 2023 gathered responses from 136 doctors across 43 countries in the region, revealing that TH is available in only 13 countries and primarily used in private institutions.
