Implementing quality and essential interventions could be the source of preventing maternal and newborn deaths.
Nurses need to ensure their sanitation before stepping into the patient’s rooms by performing proper hand hygiene/PPE to reduce contact transmissions of different infections.
Regular training for nurses in hospitals and private practices needs to become a standardized protocol when dealing with mothers and newborns.

Nurses can impact maternal and newborn health, and vise versa; maternal and newborn health can impact nursing.
The health of the mother and the newborn impacts the nurse’s role and responsibility for that shift in the hospital. The nurses oversee their patients' health, and if something is going wrong, they have to take charge and make a change. Unfortunately though, if the nurses aren’t trained, they will remain unaware of their duties to the patients/babies who are struggling.

The extent goes far beyond this being an issue in the United States, it happens all around the globe.
In 2019, about 2.4 million newborns died worldwide and about 810 women die every day from complications that could have been prevented during pregnancy and/or childbirth. It is of high priority to cut these complications whether they arise from infections, viruses, or lack of healthcare attention.
Immunizations and sanitation are two of the most talked about preventable measures that need to be ensured in practice to maximize maternal and infant health and to minimize mortality rates.

Maternal and newborn mortality rate has shown many improvements and has almost halved since 1990, but there are still mothers and babies dying in large numbers, from preventable/treatable causes.
Improving the health of our mothers, infants, and children has risen to be one of the biggest goals for the United States healthcare teams.
