A Joint Process Documentation of the Scale-Up of the Helping Babies Breathe Initiative in Bangladesh and Malawi
Over 60 countries have introduced HBB but relatively few have attempted a national rollout. Interventions such as HBB must be implemented at scale in order to achieve impact at the population level, but this introduces a set of system-related challenges that are not faced during small-scale trials. Improved understanding of the science of scale-up is crucial to achieving population-level impact. …
