In this new-born special care unit, young mother Madina, cares for the premature baby she knows she is lucky to have.
With a history of failed pregnancies, six years ago she gave birth at this same hospital to a child who died.
SOUNDBITE (Russian) Bobokhanova Madina, mother
“The baby only lived for a few days. And during that time, I had no access to her. But this time, even though my baby’s weight is less than two kilogrammes, she is fine, and the doctors keep me informed on all aspects of her treatment.”
Mothers who pass through this unit in Namangan in eastern Uzbekistan now benefit from a project that is training 3,200 medical professionals in new-born care in Uzbekistan, run jointly by the Ministry of Health, the European Commission and UNICEF.
And in those regions the project supports the training of more than 13,000 health professionals in maternal, new born and child care to monitor and improve the quality of medicine.
The project has already brought positive changes in health sector reform and quality of care as witnessed in the neighbouring Andigan region, where new training facilities and programmes are helping to improve the perinatal services there.
SOUNDBITE (Russian) Abdukhalieva Matluba, Obstetrician & Gynecologist:
“Mothers are able to choose the position to give birth and can have husbands and relatives present. This minimizes stress and reduces the need for medication.”
SOUNDBITE (Russian) Kodirova Manzura, Neonatologist:
“We’ve also been taught the importance of breast milk, and have introduced immediate contact between new born babies and their mothers, which helps good breast feeding.”
As part of the same effort, thousands more General Practitioners and Pediatricians are being trained in the Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses - or IMCI - as in this consultation role playing exercise, also in Andigan.
SOUNDBITE (Russian) Toirova Uktamkhon, Paediatrician:
“This exercise is especially useful, because we sometimes have to find solutions quickly, so this helps to improve our skills.”
The overall impact is to reduce the relatively high percentage of neonatal deaths in Uzbekistan.
Evidence of how far the system has come - the recent case of Mamakhanova Mashura – one of a number of pregnant women among the thousands of refugees escaping violence in neighbouring Kyrgyzstan, and giving birth ten weeks prematurely to a baby girl.
Weighing just 900 grammes, an infant with little hope of surviving in the past, but now every expectation of thriving in the future, to reach adulthood.
