"The MBNC manual is intended for use by skilled providers (including midwives, doctors, and nurses) who care for women and newborns in low-resource settings. Basic care can be given in a variety of sites, including the woman's home, the peripheral health center, and the district referral hospital. It is assumed that the skilled provider will furnish all basic care services, identify and manage common complications, and stabilize (if necessary) and refer/transfer women and newborns needing additional interventions. It is recognized, however, that some skilled providers will also be capable of treating more complex conditions"
