Centre for Evidence-Based Newborn, Child & Adolescent Health

From the guideline to the cot-side.

CENCAH turns WHO, UNICEF and Nigerian national guidelines into clinical tools, caregiver guides and job aids you can actually use — with every recommendation traced to a named, dated source.

Three doors, one source of evidence behind them.

Evidence you can trace

Every clinical line on CENCAH is drawn from a named, dated guideline — primary WHO, UNICEF and Nigerian national sources, with specialist guidance for operational detail. Nothing is invented; anything unconfirmed is flagged, not guessed.

What's inside

Each topic is a bundle: a clinical tool, a caregiver guide and a job aid at minimum.

In an emergency

Know the danger signs

The same danger-sign guidance appears across every newborn bundle — one trusted list, always one tap away, for clinicians and families alike.
