Dear All,

Please see new WHO recommendations on home-based records for MNCH.

The key message is that the use of home-based records, as a complement to facility-based records, is recommended for the care of pregnant women, mothers, newborns and children https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F2xd3cQv&data=01%7C01%7Cjane.sandall%40kcl.ac.uk%7C078c132880dd4d37293608d61d8a0058%7C8370cf1416f34c16b83c724071654356%7C0&sdata=GgTtggWWncqgyn3wxvUv3SYPl%2BbD2fvUerXvs0hH410%3D&reserved=0

This has significant implications for the provision of maternal, newborn and child care by nursing and midwifery personnel, especially in remote and hard to reach areas.

Thanks in advance for sharing widely and implementing well.

Best wishes
Fran
