Summary

Achieving millennium development goal 4 (the reduction of child mortality by two-thirds by 2015) does not require new science and technology. Rather, it demands the expansion and implementation of evidenced based practices throughout Indonesia to reach the large and diverse population of 237 million persons. This retrospective case study examines how community based neonatal resuscitation was piloted, and scaled up in Indonesia from 2004–2010, with the intent of informing the design, and implementation of future government, and donor programs aimed at scaling up evidenced based health innovations in low resource settings. The study concludes with a revised framework for planning, reviewing, and evaluating scale up of evidence based practices. Recommendations are provided to the Ministry of Health, provincial and district health authorities, and international organizations for the future design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of scale up programs and initiatives.
