"This model includes practices that have been shown to be effective in preventing neo-natal mortality," said UNICEF Health Specialist Zulma Ortiz. "And all of them are based specifically in the relationship between the mother and the son or the daughter and also the whole family so the idea is to promote the implementation of this strategy all over the world."

On 3 April, the Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS campaign will launch its second stocktaking report on efforts to protect young people from HIV and AIDS. Here is one in a series of related stories. CHELYABINSK, Russia, 28 March 2008 -- Weeks old but already at risk, the newborns sleeping in the sun-drenched rooms of the No.8 Paediatric Hospital here have special needs that are being carefully monitored. One of just a handful of paediatric facilities in the country designated exclusively for the infants of mothers living with HIV, the ward is crucial to the city's AIDS strategy. A well-developed medical infrastructure ensures that most of these children will stay as healthy as their peers, but many will still suffer because their parents don't take advantage of the legal, social and counselling services available to support them. To help bridge the gap between infant medical services and longer-term family support, the city of Chelyabinsk, with UNICEF's support, is piloting a new programme called 'Compass'.
