Bangladesh Post Natal Care (PNC) has been emphasized in the “National Neonatal Health Strategy and Guidelines (NNHS) of Bangladesh”. PNC is provided free of charge at government health facilities. PNC is provided both at health facilities and during home visits by community health workers in efforts to make the service accessible from the community to tertiary level. During home visits community health workers focus on the i) promotion of newborn care (early/exclusive breastfeeding, warmth, hygiene); ii) promotion of nutrition & family planning counseling to mothers;
