Following the doctrine of “newborn health must be recognised as a national priority”, the Neonatology Society, West Bengal has undertaken a community based holistic approach, ensuring availability of basic facilities at the local hospitals with trained nurses and doctors to provide the best care.
Malnutrition being an incessant problem, neonatal death is still quite common in West Bengal. With the motto of decreasing the death rate among neonates, NSWB regularly organises training programmes for nurses, CMEs and workshops for health care professionals, medical camps for children and awareness programmes among the parents.
