In this webinar, Dr Vikram Datta presented how a medical college in New Delhi started using quality improvement (QI) techniques to address hypothermia in newborns and subsequently reduce newborn mortality. He explained how his team then gradually connected with other health professionals and spread its learnings and know how to create a self sustained learning network dedicated to QI for newborns. Dr Datta also explained the prerequisites to establish such a network and encouraged participants to start their quality improvement work without waiting for more resources, staff or time. 

To date, the National Quality of Care Network  in India includes nine states and is working to expand its reach.
