    This publication on WHO recommendations related to newborn health is one of four in a series; the others relate to maternal, child and adolescent health. The objective of this document is to make available WHO recommendations on newborn health in one easy-to-access document for WHO staff, policy-makers, programme managers, and health professionals. The compilation can also help better define gaps to prioritize guideline updates.

    What health interventions should be the newborn and young infants < 2 months of age receive and when should s/he receive it? and What health behaviours should a mother/caregiver practise (or not practise)?
