Especially for the most endangered, patient care is too often insufficient. Basic medicines and supplies; clean, well-equipped health facilities; and simple interventions like exclusive breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact between parents and new-borns help lessen the risk of maternal and infant expiration. The capacity of health workers, including skilled birth attendants, to swiftly acknowledge to danger signs around the time of transportation also saves lives.
Based on the current evidence on burden and impact, the following specific thematic areas have been recognised as high priority for this eyesight [1].
