Target Product Profile: Newborn Care

About

Issued in April 2020

In collaboration with UNICEF, NEST360 is driving the development of target product profiles for newborn care in low-resource settings. Through a delphi-like process that culminated in an in-person consensus meeting, the TPPs were developed listing a proposed set of performance and operational characteristics for 16 newborn products across 6 product categories: Hydration, Nutrition and Drug Delivery; Jaundice Management; Point-of-Care Diagnostics; Infection Prevention and Control; Respiratory Support; and Thermal Management.
