Introduction to the Neonatal Package
The MSF Neonatal Package contains guidance and tools to address the growing need for a comprehensive, standardised approach to neonatal care.
It is dedicated to nurses, midwifes, clinicians and doctors who have a role to play to improve the quality of care for newborns, their mothers, families and communities.
MSF International Neonatal Care guidelines
The second edition of the MSF International Neonatal Care guidelines have been updated, revised and improved thanks to the valuable feedback received from field users and experts and based on discussion of new evidence and international recommendations.
