DENOSA Professional Institute launches 'Helping Babies Breathe' educational program
We also heard from Wanda Mlotshwa - National Coordinator at the Denosa Professional
Institute. She was speaking to us about how they trained nurses ‘to help babies
breathe’. DENOSA Professional Institute recently trained 24 participants that included
Advanced midwives from neonatal and paediatric wards on ‘Helping Babies
Breathe’ (HBB) which is an educational program that aims to help meet
Millennium Development Goal 4 to reduce child mortality by addressing one of
the most important causes of neonatal death - birth asphyxia. The HBB training is the
brainchild of the International Council of Nurses (ICN ) and the East, Central,
Southern African College of Nursing (ECSACON), of which DENOSA is an affiliate. For more information
