Editor's Notes
Ghana Meeting: Institutionalizing Nutrition Health Services in the Care of the Ill and Vulnerable Newborn and Child Workshop Report was held in Ghana from October 30 โ November 2018. This meeting brought together 115 participants including representatives from 7 countries (DRC, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique and Nigeria). The meeting had several key objectives related to sharing successful practices in implementing current policies, barriers at the various levels of the health system and for various age bands highlighting the LBW/SGA and/or premature babies.
Countries developed country specific action plans.
I would encourage you to go to the CH Task Force website where you can access the:

Review of Policies and Guidelines Related to the Nutrition of Ill and Undernourished Children at the Primary Health Care Level
The US was one of only 13 countries, including North Korea and Zimbabwe, that saw its maternal death rate increase since 1990.
Some of the things that are highlighted from the Ghana meeting. These are by no means comprehensive.
SERVICE DELIVERY: Assessing nutritional status of children under six months; clinic organization and flow; task shifting; etc
INEQUITIES: Investments may focus on certain geographies; national coverage belies subnational inequities;
M&E: Weak integration of M&E systems; vertical programmes
FINANCING: line items; siloโd
COMMUNITY: IMCI has focused mainly on the first component (HW skills) to the exclusion of strengthening systems and community engagement
HW ; CHW overload; limited meaningful community engagement for augmentation of service delivery, but also to support CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Despite significant investment in training, this has been less effective than originally hoped for: One Third of ill children are stil lnot receiving appropriate treatment
Causes include: Inadequate training budgets; staff turnover; retention and motivation issues; weak mentorship and supervisory systems; insufficient facility readiness
