The Department of Health in the Philippines launched the Essential Newborn Care program under the Unang Yakap Campaign to address neonatal deaths through evidence-based strategic interventions to improve newborn care and reduce neonatal mortality. The Essential Newborn Care package is a four-step newborn care procedure that includes immediate drying and stimulation after delivery, maintaining temperature and skin-to-skin contact, properly timed cord clamping and cutting, and initiating breastfeeding within the first hour. The goal is to reduce newborn mortality from 13 to 10 deaths per 1000 live births by 2015.
