Managing birth asphyxia : helping babies breath / Lynn Clark Callister

Building on the Millennium Development Goals, the Sustainable Development Goals include a global emphasis on "attaining healthy life for all at all ages." A Call to Action Summit 2015 held in India in Aug 2015 that focused on preventable maternal/child deaths served as a prelude to the United Nations Summit in Sep 2015 on the adoption of the post-2015 Development Agenda. Vulnerable populations globally are the unborn and the newly born, especially in low resource areas. It is estimated that half of three million newborn deaths globally each year occur during birth or within the first 24 hours of life. Six million newborns require assistance with breathing immediately after birth. Here, Callister details the intervention for birth asphyxia.
