About this resource

Despite significant progress in maternal and newborn health, a substantial proportion of newborn deaths and stillbirths occur among women classified as ‘low risk’ under national guidelines. This webinar will delve into findings from the NFHS-5 survey, which examined over 176,000 recent pregnancies, and explore the implications for policy and healthcare facility planning.

Our expert panel from the World Bank’s Health, Nutrition, and Population Global Practice team – including Aparnaa Somanathan, Ajay Tandon, Rahul Pandey, Bathula Amith Nagaraj, Lakshmi Murthy Sripada, and Navneet Kaur Manchanda – will present key research insights, discuss the challenges of risk-based facility selection, and highlight policy and programmatic recommendations for improving maternal and newborn health outcomes.
