Certificates were presented to trainees who completed the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) practitioner course offered by our hospital.
Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP).....
Every year, approximately 1 million babies die within the first day after birth, and approximately 2 million die within the first week. Birth asphyxia is the leading cause of neonatal death, and asphyxia accounts for approximately 6% of neonatal deaths in our country. When we examine proven practices for keeping newborns alive, we see that neonatal resuscitation has a high level of evidence and has the potential to prevent between 6-42% of neonatal deaths.
The primary goal of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is to prevent perinatal asphyxia and related deaths and disabilities, and to ensure that all healthcare professionals present at birth are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement standard resuscitation behaviors. The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) practitioner course was held under the responsibility of our institution on October 8-10, 2025. With the support of our hospital's NRP course instructors and supervisor, 15 doctors, 5 midwives, and 2 nurses successfully completed the course. Certificates were presented to the participants by our Health Care Services Manager, Mine YEKELER, Prof. Dr. Dilek SARICI, Prof. Dr. Elif YILMAZ, and Specialist Dr. Emel SAYLAM.
