Let ASHA workers give oral doses to newborns: Expert
Dr. Abhay Bang, a public health expert, suggests empowering Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) to administer oral antibiotics to newborns to reduce infant deaths in areas with a lack of specialist doctors or pediatric ICUs. This approach, known as home-based newborn care (HBNC), has been successfully implemented in Gadchiroli, resulting in a significant decrease in newborn mortality. Dr. Bang’s research shows that only a small percentage of neonates require referral to a higher center, highlighting the importance of home-based care models. The success of HBNC in Gadchiroli demonstrates its potential to be implemented on a larger scale in India.

World Cup, England vs Afghanistan: England eye booster dose for run rate against Afghanistan
Defending champions England will be cautious of unpredictable Afghanistan in their World Cup match in Delhi. The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium has been ideal for batsmen, with high-scoring matches and low bowling averages. England will be looking for a victory to secure two points and improve their net run-rate. They hope to replicate their dominant performance against Afghanistan in the 2019 edition of the World Cup. The availability of allrounder Ben Stokes is still uncertain. Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott believes his team has the potential to win.
