SolidarMed - Tanzania which is the Swiss Organization for Health in Africa in partnership with the Government of Tanzania, received some funding to improve access to basic health care for caregivers and neonates in three healthcare facilities in the Morogoro region. The intervention will be implemented in Mahenge District Hospital (Ulanga District Council), Kibaoni Health Centre (Ifakara Town Council), and Morogoro Regional Referral Hospital (Morogoro Municipal Council). The overall objective of the research is to identify the most cost-effective service package for scale-up Tanzania. Specifically, the study objectives are: 1. To investigate short-term maintenance of the impact of the interventions by follow-up of the newborn's health at the facility and the facility and at the household within 28 days of life. 2. To characterize the effect of each intervention package (IPC, HBB, KMC & NICE) for each healthcare facility to inform cost effectiveness analysis. 3. To identify and quantify financial and economic costs associated with the implementation of each intervention package (IPC, HBB, HMC & NICE) for each health care facility.
