The Essential Newborn Care Course (ENCC) aims to ensure health workers have the skills and knowledge to provide appropriate care at the most vulnerable period in a baby’s life. Health workers are taught to use WHO’s Pregnancy, Childbirth, Postpartum and Newborn Care: A guide for essential practice (the PCPNC Guide) – and particularly the sections concerned with newborn care – that provides up-to-date evidence-based information and management of babies with a range of needs in the initial newborn period.
