Every year, 1.2 lakh newborns die within the first 24 hours of birth, due to complications like birth asphyxia, a condition in which newborn babies do not get enough oxygen during or after birth.
This condition can lead to life-threatening issues like brain damage, organ failure, and even death. But all these lives can be saved through the Neonatal Resuscitation Program.
Neonatal Resuscitation is a medical response that can be the difference between life and death for newborns that struggle to breathe in the first minute after birth known as the First Golden Minute.
In the last 16 years, the program has trained over 2,00,000+ doctors, midwives, and nurses and has contributed significantly to reducing neonatal mortality rates in India.
Project Golden Minute, in partnership with a leading paediatrician body aims to train doctors, nurses and midwives in this vital technique.* The Basic NRP Provider Course is designed for MBBS, AYUSH doctors, nurses, paramedical and supporting staff posted at birthing centres or maternity hospitals. The program has been training and equipping healthcare professionals across the country with the knowledge and skills required for neonatal resuscitation.
To support this cause and help protect babies from Day 1, Minute 1, you can stream the Pehli Saans song by Malini Awasthi.
