HBNC stands for Home Based New Born Care.
The Home Based New Born Care (HBNC) programme was launched in 2011 with the aim of reducing neonatal mortality and morbidity rates. This is particularly important in rural and remote areas where access to healthcare facilities is limited or geographically challenging.
Key aspects of the HBNC program:
- Focus: Aims to reduce neonatal mortality and morbidity.
- Target Area: Primarily focuses on rural and remote areas.
- Access: Improves access to newborn care where it is limited.
- Implementation: Implemented to bridge the gap in healthcare access for newborns in underserved regions.
