    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Health workers in Mauritania often neglect essential newborn care immediately after birth, leading to "forgotten" neonatal attention. This study highlights the need to refocus on the newborn to improve neonatal survival rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Anthropology
    • Public Health
    • Neonatal Care

    Context:

    • West African countries face high neonatal mortality rates.
    • Despite interventions, neonatal care programs show mixed success in Mauritania.
    • Health worker practices in neonatal care require further investigation.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate how health workers in Mauritania are involved in neonatal care.
    • To understand the factors influencing the provision of immediate newborn care.
    • To identify strategies for improving neonatal outcomes.

    Summary:

    • Anthropological study using ethnography and interviews in a Mauritanian health center.
    • Observations revealed that immediate newborn care, including warmth and examination, is often neglected.
  • Newborns are quickly handed to families, with care responsibilities diffused among staff.

    • Impact:

    • Immediate newborn care is poorly medicalized, impacting neonatal survival.
    • Health worker disengagement stems from perceived uncertainty in neonatal outcomes and cultural factors.
    • Proposals are made to re-center newborn care to enhance quality and reduce mortality.
