COMBINE – End of study report

published 6 December 2019

From 2008-2013, the Saving Newborn Lives (SNL) program of Save the Children worked with the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) and a range of collaborating institutions to implement a two-arm cluster randomized controlled trial (COMBINE). The intervention aimed to strengthen implementation of the Health Extension Program (HEP) according to existing policy, and to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of integrating community-based treatment of neonatal sepsis by Health Extension Workers (HEWs) in the national ICCM platform.
