We (Ansh) are looking into this and have conducted some preliminary research on the barriers and enablers. We are now designing experiments that are scalable and feasible for the government to implement. If anyone is interested in being part of this — whether in research, piloting, implementation, or technical assistance — please feel free to reach out!
Really good questions! You are absolutely right: we do have our own observed mortality data since a neonatal period is 28 days and we have been operating for almost 6 months now. We plan to discuss it thoroughly in our evaluation report that we are working on with some external partners. Since it's observed mortality data, we want to ensure that it's shared responsibly. Happy to share the report with you once its published (will take a few months).
