Seed Global Health brings educators to Uganda, to teach nurses neonatal resuscitation techniques that radically improve the chance of newborn survival.
Why we care: Newborn babies represent almost 40% of estimated 9.7 million deaths of children under age 5 and nearly 60% of infant deaths globally.
How we're solving it: Sending nurse educators to the Mbarara School of Nursing in Uganda to train 200 nurses.
During a year at faculty—with in-country peers—the nurse educators will offer hands-on training on newborn care and resuscitation, both in the classroom and at the bedside. Mbarara nursing faculty partner in this simulation-based approach, teaching the initial steps of resuscitation in the first 10 minutes of a newborn’s life. In addition, nurse educators will emphasize the assessment of every baby, temperature support, stimulation to breathe, and assisted ventilation as needed, all within "The Golden Minute" after birth.
Seed Global Health works to reduce the devastating global shortage of nurses and doctors and to reduce heartbreaking avoidable deaths. This partnership between Mbarara School of Nursing, Seed Global Health, the Mass General Hospital Center for Global Health, and Healthy Babies Uganda, helps prevent newborn deaths and disability for generations to come while reducing devastating global shortage of nurses. Nurses will be trained to deliver better care and also train future nurses, dramatically extending the impact of this investment.
Neonatal death is devastating emotionally and physically for any woman and should not be a cruel accident of geography. A training model that educates and empowers nurses to improve the lives and health of women through safer deliveries and child survival is a positive change for women, girls and communities.
