Effective coverage of newborn postnatal care: assessing the service contact-content gap in 32 low- and middle-income countries using household survey data
In most countries, a substantial number of newborns who are checked during PNC do not receive all basic services. Effective coverage measures offer a more comprehensive estimate for assessing service gaps, driving action, and ensuring health gains. Addressing the missed opportunities of inadequate care content and focussing on equity will be critical to improve survival of all mothers and newborns.
