Background & Methods
A UNICEF Pakistan programme experience report documenting the initial deployment of BEMPU TempWatch for premature newborns at Services Hospital, Lahore, Punjab. 5 premature newborns were monitored over a 4-week observation period. This report serves as an experience-sharing document for UNICEF Pakistan's neonatal innovation programme rather than a formal clinical evaluation.
Key Results
- 1The initial deployment of TempWatch in Pakistan was conducted at Services Hospital, Lahore, as part of UNICEF Pakistan's neonatal innovation programme.
- 2Clinical staff reported positive experiences with the device and identified hypothermia episodes that would otherwise have been missed.
- 3This experience-sharing report served as the basis for UNICEF Pakistan's recommendation to scale the intervention.
Why This Matters
Pakistan has one of the world's highest neonatal mortality rates, with hypothermia a leading cause. This initial programme report documents the entry of TempWatch into Pakistan's health system and informed UNICEF Pakistan's subsequent scale-up plans.
