Essential Newborn Care 1 (ENC 1), second edition, is the first part of WHO’s Essential Newborn Care Course.

It includes newborn resuscitation within the Golden Minute, keeping babies warm, promoting exclusive breastfeeding, preventing infection, treating mother and baby with respect, keeping records to help provide the best care.
