Essential newborn care has been common in many countries for a long time and there are also specific regulations for care. Essential care methods for mothers and babies born by caesarean section often include: skin-to-skin contact, early breastfeeding and delayed cord clamping after birth. This is a combination of adult interventions, although simple, but gives many children a chance to live.

Injecting 10 units of oxytocin into the mother's thigh, providing skin-to-skin contact, early breastfeeding... are extremely progressive steps in the essential care process for mothers and newborns during and immediately after birth, bringing many practical benefits to the health of both mothers and newborns.

Caesarean section is usually indicated in cases where the mother has health problems and is in danger of giving birth vaginally. To help the delivery be successful, safe and "mother and child are safe", essential newborn care for mothers and newborns during and immediately after caesarean section is essential.

The model of essential care for mothers and newborns during and immediately after birth is being applied in many large hospitals, completely changing the traditional method of delivery and newborn care. It is expected that by 2020, all hospitals nationwide will apply this new method of essential newborn care.
