Management of neonatal hypoglycaemia in a tertiary maternity unit-A multidisciplinary quality improvement project.

Our QIP resulted in a significant reduction in NNU admissions leading to significant cost reductions and NNU workload. More importantly, this resulted in less maternal-infant separation and potentially less parental anxiety and a more supportive environment for breastfeeding. These low-cost initiatives can be implemented in other tertiary maternity hospitals to improve maternity and newborn care.
