Session Outline Part one FOCUS: --What has worked? --What has not worked?
• New Focus on RMNCH + A • MDGs 4 & 5a: countdown • Under-5 mortality (deaths) • Under-5 child malnutrition • Neonatal mortality
(deaths) • Maternal mortality
Part two FOCUS: --What more can be done? • RMNCH continuum of care • Reducing preventable
deaths in under-5 children • Reducing preventable
neonatal deaths • Reducing preventable
maternal deaths • Focusing on adolescent
girls

New focus: Convergence of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child & adolescent health

MDGs 4 & 5a: countdown
![Page 9: Lec 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/563dbbb7550346aa9aaf9f70/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MDG 4 Reduce Child Mortality
• Target 4.A: Reduce by two thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rate
--The # of under-5 child deaths fell from 12.7 million in 1990 to 6.3 million in 2013 --Translates into about 17,000 fewer children dying daily -- Rate of decrease not enough to meet MDG 4 target; yet it is still remarkable progress --However, 44% of under-5 child deaths now among newborn babies
![Page 10: Lec 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/563dbbb7550346aa9aaf9f70/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MDG 5 Improve Maternal Health
• Target 5.A: Reduce by three quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio (MMR)
--The MMR fell by 45% between 1990 & 2013, from 380 to 210 deaths per 100,000 live births --Far off target • Target 5.B:
Achieve, by 2015, universal access to reproductive health
-- Substantial unmet need for family planning in low-income & middle-income countries --The large increase in contraceptive use in the 1990s was not matched in the 2000s

first 5 years of life)

Under-5 deaths: But Intra-country disparities remain: • By household wealth quintile
(poorest=highest U5MR)
• By gender
• By residence: urban, peri-urban, rural
• By educational level of the mother
• By other social stratifiers (e.g. caste, race, etc)
Children who live in poorer households, in rural
areas or whose mothers have less education are at higher risk of dying before age 5

Why is good nutrition so important to
children under 2 years? • Stunting starts early and becomes permanent
by age 2 years • Child’s brain: 80% developed by year 2: malnourished child has permanent brain
damage as early as 2 years • Prenatal malnutrition & low birth weightÆ
predisposition to obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes later in life;

Pregnancy
Focus on -9 to 24 months

-9 to +24 Window • Most malnutrition=between pregnancy and
the first 2 years of age. • Period just before pregnancy until about 2
years=special and cost-effective "window of opportunity" for impacting on nutrition
• Much of early damage is irreversible • Interventions after this age are too late, too
little, and too expensive.

Normal brain development
• Newborn brain weighs 400 grams • At one year of age the brain weighs
1,000 grams. • By 2 years of age the brain has reached
80 percent of its adult size. • By 18 years of age the brain has reached
its adult weight of 1400 grams

Early life programming in pregnancy • Extensive studies in last 20 years: Æ low birth weight (esp when followed by accelerated postnatal growth) Æobesity, diabetes, heart disease & hypertension
• Environmental stresses (esp in utero) Æchange regulatory gene expression (DNA methylation) Æincreased risk of chronic disease later in life
• Poor prenatal dietÆdouble negative effect: Ælow birth weight Æhigher risk of NCDs (non-communicable diseases) later in life
![Page 52: Lec 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/563dbbb7550346aa9aaf9f70/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Fetus already being programmed for obesity, diabetes & heart disease in the uterus
• Fetus and young child very sensitive to extra fat Ædeposited rapidly in the heart, liver Æand abdomen (retroperitoneal fat): main site of insulin resistance • Maternal diet & metabolism tells various genes
how to function & behaveÆremains with the child rest of his life
• ThereforeÆneed to focus on first 1,000 days (pregnant women & children under 2 years)

Where do we stand?
MDG 4 - Reduce child mortality – Under 5 mortality fell 41% from 1990 – Sub-Saharan Africa doubled its average rate of reduction : 1.2 % in 1990-2000 to 2.4
per cent during 2000-2010
MDG 5a - Improve maternal health Maternal mortality fell 47% from 1990
MDG 5b - Universal access to reproductive health
By 2008, more than 50%women aged 15 -49yrs were using contraception
MDG 6 - HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
New HIV infections declined; Proportion of women living with HIV remains stable at 50%

Gender inequalities in mortality & birth rates in some South Asian countries like India
• Differential allocation of care to girls and boys, prenatal sex selection, female feticide (UNICEF, Mumbai study)
• Infanticide, neglect, and gender-based violence • Skewed sex ratios at birth/later years: girls= disadvantaged • Wide gender disparities in child immunization, care/
treatment for diarrhea & pneumonia, & nutrition including breast feeding. • Young women and girls = victims of neglect, poor
healthcare, violence during adolescence & maternity. • Gender inequalities in India surpass inequalities in
geographies (urban or rural), class, caste, religion, and literacy levels

Need to achieve gender-equitable RMNCH + A outcomes
• Need to improve gender differentials in: --sex ratios at birth --infant and child mortality among girls --breastfeeding, immunization, & treatment seeking behavior for childhood illnesses among girls.
• Need to reduce: --anemia among adolescent girls & young married women --gender-based violence, violence during pregnancy and in the postpartum period.

We have the knowledge and tools to reduce the main causes of death
Preterm birth
• Preterm labor management including antenatal corticosteroids*
• Care including Kangaroo mother care, essential newborn care
Birth complications
(and intrapartum stillbirths)
• Prevention with obstetric care * • Essential newborn care, and resuscitation*
Neonatal infections
• Prevention, essential newborn care especially breastfeeding, Chlorhexidine where appropriate*
• Case management of neonatal sepsis *

Misoprostol for prevention of PPH at homebirths or facilities
What? • Misoprostol is a utero-
tonic that prevents and treats postpartum haemorrhage (PPH)
• It is available in oral tablet form (3 tablets of 200mcg) to be taken immediately after birth & aimed at preventing a PPH
• WHO now recommends it for prevention of PPH where oxytocin is not available or cannot be safely used (no SBA)
• It is less heat sensitive than oxytocin which makes it an ideal medicine for use during home births or in low resource facilities
![Page 114: Lec 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/563dbbb7550346aa9aaf9f70/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Community Distribution of Misoprostol to prevent PPH
• CHWs/TBAs, trained in its use, can distribute it in advance for prevention of PPH & self administration is safe and effective
