Helping Babies Breath HD

Описание: "In the past, we did not save a lot of babies' lives," said Judith Kambuyi, head nurse at a maternity center in the Democratic Republic of Congo. "We lost a lot due to ignorance." Over the last five years, the USAID-funded Integrated Health Project in the DRC has worked to improve the basic health conditions of the Congolese people, including teaching medical professionals like Kambuyi how to resuscitate newborns using the Helping Babies Breathe method. Women's and children's health are among the project's priorities. "Our most important success is that we have succeeded in stopping the deaths of 109,000 children, which is to say 25 percent of the objective of the DRC government in the last three years," said Dr. Diana Putman, mission director of USAID/DRC.
