Summary

In the vast majority of developing nations, frontline birth attendants are often the only care providers responsible for newborn care including newborn resuscitation, thermal care, feeding and administration of medications. These midwives need knowledge and skills to provide all these newborn clinical care needs. However, frontline birth attendants in these circumstances are seldom exposed to the training and decision support tools that would empower them to holistically assess, decide and manage newborn babies in their care. Current training opportunities are fragmented and need to be administered as a comprehensive package.

A combination approach to training, skills retention, and the use of decision support tools such as Protecting Infants Remotely by SMS (PRISMS) and Augmented Infant Resuscitator (AIR) may provide a comprehensive package for the acquisition and retention of knowledge and skills on newborn care and empower birth attendants to provide effective, timely interventions.
