IMPULSE: Improving Quality and Use of Newborn Indicators
During 2020, the Chiesi Foundation worked on the design of a scientific research project with other organizations involved in the field of neonatal health in contexts with limited resources.
Within the framework of the NEST programme, the Chiesi Foundation has launched IMPULSE, with the aim of generating evidence on effective methods and tools to improve the availability, quality and use of neonatal data in sub-Saharan Africa, thus contributing to improving the health and well-being of newborns admitted to neonatal units.
The project focuses on the study of data collection systems in the neonatal field and the subsequent analysis of more effective data and KPIs to evaluate interventions to improve newborn care. The chosen partners are the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) , the WHO Collaborating Center of Trieste (IRCCS Maternal Infant Burlo Garofolo) and CUAMM – Doctors with Africa .
The project also sees the collaboration and technical support of UNICEF and WHO . The IMPULSE project is currently active in Ethiopia, Central African Republic, Tanzania and Uganda .
