The Newborn Sepsis course has now been updated!
Thirty-eight percent of under-five deaths occur in the neonatal period, i.e., the first four weeks of life, accounting for about four million deaths annually, three-quarters of which take place in the first week of life. Around 31% are due to infection.
This course will orient the participant to key issues in the prevention and treatment of neonatal infections, emphasizing recognition and management of bacterial infections at peripheral facilities and in the community, and issues of global public health importance.
