"The Newborn Investment Case presents a strategic approach & financial blueprint aimed at mobilising resources & guiding investments to improve newborn health outcomes focusing on requirements for scaling up newborn care." - Hon. Margaret Muhanga State Min. for Primary Healthcare

Professor Prof Joy Lawn has emphasized the need for more than one intervention to save newborns that are vulnerable to infant mortality as 33000 babies die before reaching 28 days while 22500 are still births. Excerpt from the High Level Table Discussion on New Born Care.

"There is need for more targeted investments in key areas of infrastructure for newborn, human resources including neonatal nursing and improving staffing levels, medical commodities for newborn, equipment and devices for newborn care." - OMWana Trial

"We also need to consider new evidence in caring for newborns in Uganda forexample the OMWaNA trial which showed that Kangaroo Mother Care before stabilisation is a cost effective intervention for caring for preterm babies." Hon. Margaret Muhanga State Min. for Primary Healthcare
