Brief Summary  

         India is having highest number of preterm births in the world. As per Sample

 Registration Survey- 2016 -2017, IMR in India is 34/1000 live births and Neonatal

 Mortality rate is 24/1000 live births, which indicates the alarming situation. Telangana

 recorded 29/1000. Government of India is pouring funds in planning, organizing,

 staffing to some extent, training, allocating resources in view of attaining SDGs

 related to maternal and child health to improve the indicators by reducing infant

 mortality rate and neonatal mortality rate, but the targets are far behind as per

 National health Policy-2017

           This project will be very significant in bringing the quality improvement in the health of preterm babies. The mothers and the family , who are seeking health services for their preterm, especially in the Government health institutions, are in need of education and training for taking care of the preterm at home after discharge. Due to the Nurse - Patient ratio issues, one to one teaching is a challenge. The education material prepared in the form of video for mothers and low cost measures like ear plugs to reduce the noise levels in the immediate surroundings  of the preterm for a healing environment and keeping the preterm in left lateral position after feeding to tolerate the feeds are studied in this project. These interventions are useful to the family in providing effective supportive care at home, fill certain human resources gaps among stakeholders  and will also have impact on reducing the neonatal mortality and morbidity
