Almost a year has passed since Essential Intrapartum and Newborn Care (EINC) began “Unang Yakap” or “First Embrace,” its social marketing campaign, designed to transform hospitals with interventions aimed at the high-risk periods of labor, delivery, and immediate postpartum. Now that its practices have been established and are ready to be implemented in 11 DOH hospitals—thanks to the efforts not only of the EINC team but also of these hospitals, JPMNH, WHO Philippines, and the National Center for Disease Prevention and Control/Family Health Office—EINC is eager to share its experience with health stakeholders for adoption and replication on a national scale by way of a conference.
The MNCHN EINC Scale Up Project Technical Conference, to be held on September in Metro Manila, is meant to convene such stakeholders, including DOH Centers for Health Development and more hospitals who can surely benefit from EINC’s progressive methods and learnings. Heads of professional societies, key personnel from medical academies, as well as physicians, nurses, and midwives have been invited to attend. Expected presentations include a showcase of the results of the EINC Scale Up Project that mark improvements in the deployment of practices from baseline to project completion, an enumeration of the best practices carried out in model hospitals that are worth emulating, even a set of technical recommendations for the adoption of EINC in all health facilities across the entire nation in order to arrest maternal and newborn within this high-risk period.
