The document outlines the 4 core steps of Essential Newborn Care (ENC) which are: 1) Immediate drying of the newborn, 2) Skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn, 3) Properly timed cord clamping and cutting between 1 to 3 minutes after birth, and 4) Non-separation of newborn and mother for early breastfeeding initiation and rooming-in. These simple steps can prevent at least half of newborn deaths without additional costs to families or hospitals.
