Every Woman Every Child Breathes Life into the Neonatal Resuscitation Effort

Nearly one quarter of newborn deaths result from babies failing to draw their first breath after birth.  Yet, researchers estimate that newborn resuscitation could save 30 percent of the 814,000 babies lost to this condition each year.  The process requires equipment and training that many low-resource birthing settings lack, however, greatly limiting the number of babies around the world with access to this life-saving--or life-giving--practice.
