Deputy Health Minister on newborn care as future investment
The Deputy Minister of Health, Dr. Abla Elalfy, emphasized that renovating and improving neonatal care services in Egypt is a vital investment in the country's future. It aims to reduce the mortality rates among preterm and newborn babies. She pointed out that 25% of children are born weighing less than 2.5 kilograms, and that the increase in unnecessary Caesarean sections contributes to a rise in low birth weight infants, putting them at risk and increasing the need for incubators. She stressed the importance of developing the quality of care from pregnancy through after the baby leaves the hospital. This includes promoting breastfeeding, reducing infections, analyzing the causes of neonatal deaths, and providing modern equipment and training medical teams. The goal is to lower mortality rates and improve health outcomes for newborns.
