Background
Although Indonesia has made significant progress towards reducing child mortality in the past 25 years, progress on reducing newborn mortality has not progressed as fast.  Approximately half of child mortality in Indonesia now occurs during the first 28 days of life.  Save the Children is addressing this through our health programs in six Indonesian provinces.  This includes the USAID-funded Expanding Maternal and Newborn Survival (EMAS) program and SELARAS (Sederhana Berdampak Luar Biasa) that specifically works to reduce maternal and newborn mortality.  

We have identified the need to equip parents/caregivers with knowledge and skills to be able to improve care practices for newborns during the critical first days of life.  This should be done through consultations and intensive, but brief skills building sessions with care givers when they are in the hospital or Puskesmas in the days after birth.  There will be a focus in this training process on families with low birth weight and pre-mature babies who are at higher risk of complications or death.  Initial work has started by LKBK (Lembaga Kesehatan Budi Kemuliaan) in Budi Kemuliaan Hospital in Jakarta, which has been a center of excellence in emergency and neonatal care, and has integrated a similar skills building sessions for new care takers in their facility in Jakarta.
