Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Freetown, Sierra Leone \u2013 In a vital effort to combat neonatal mortality, Rotary International has trained over 650 health workers in Sierra Leone in life-saving newborn resuscitation techniques.<\/p>\n

The initiative, part of the \u201cHelping Babies Breathe\u201d program, aims to equip healthcare professionals with the skills necessary to respond to newborns experiencing perinatal asphyxia, a leading cause of infant deaths.<\/p>\n

Rotary members from Sierra Leone, in collaboration with counterparts from North America, have provided comprehensive training to nurses, midwives, and healthcare workers across the country.<\/p>\n

These trained professionals are now better prepared to act quickly and efficiently when newborns struggle to breathe during birth, significantly improving survival rates.<\/p>\n

Perinatal asphyxia, which occurs when a baby doesn\u2019t get enough oxygen during birth, is a major contributor to neonatal deaths. By addressing this critical issue, the Helping Babies Breathe program is helping to reduce infant mortality, which remains a significant challenge in Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this program, we\u2019re not just saving lives, but also empowering healthcare workers with the tools and knowledge they need to make a lasting difference,\u201d said one Rotary representative.<\/p>\n

The training focuses on practical, hands-on skills, ensuring that health workers can immediately apply what they\u2019ve learned in real-life situations.<\/p>\n
