Ghana has seen tremendous improvement in newborn mortality rates over the last two decades, thanks to efforts by its Ministry of Health, the Ghana Health Service, PATH, Kybele Inc., and a whole community of partners. Together, this community has implemented the Making Every Baby Count Initiative (MEBCI)—a nationwide effort to shape policies, train health care workers, and secure equipment to help small and sick newborns grow into healthy children. The second phase of the initiative (MEBCI 2.0) focused on ensuring that regional health facilities had the equipment they needed to care for more acute cases and the systems required to maintain this equipment—a significant and complex challenge in Ghana.
