    The project is part of the Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa (IMCHA) initiative funded by the Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR). With a focus on implementation science and quality improvement, the project seeks to strengthen neonatal care at health facilities in low-resource settings such as Malawian central and district hospitals. We are exploring the barriers and facilitators of implementation to the following five interventions: 1) Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to help babies breathe 2) LED phototherapy to manage neonatal jaundice 3) Infant warming devices to keep babies warm 4) Kangaroo mother care where skin-to-skin contact with mothers is a low technology alternative to incubators 5) Lactation support by medical staff to help mothers exclusively breastfeed For more information: https://www.idrc.ca/en/initiative/innovating-maternal-and-childhealth- africa
