The Centre for Newborn Health Research and Innovation (CeNHRI) is a dedicated institution in Nigeria focused on improving newborn survival outcomes. It operates as an integrated platform that combines research, clinical practice, and simulation-based training to strengthen healthcare systems and translate scientific evidence into practical impact.
Based at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, the organization works to address neonatal mortality by generating high-quality research, developing scalable innovations, and providing hands-on training for healthcare workers. Its activities include piloting digital tools for newborn care tracking and collaborating with stakeholders to pilot and scale solutions that improve care delivery across Africa.
CeNHRI describes itself as Nigeria’s first dedicated institution for newborn health research, simulation-based clinical training, and evidence-driven policy engagement. The organization seeks to bridge the gap between research, policy, and frontline healthcare delivery. It maintains partnerships with various stakeholders, including the Gates Foundation, and aims to reduce preventable neonatal deaths through context-appropriate interventions and capacity building.
The organization hires for roles such as State Programme and Data Coordinators, involving responsibilities in facility implementation, stakeholder engagement, routine monitoring, and data management. CeNHRI also invites collaboration from partners, funders, researchers, and healthcare providers to support its mission of saving newborn lives through evidence and action.
