• Training community-based birth attendants in rural communities in developing countries in the Essential Newborn Care program (routine care and resuscitation) was not associated with a reduction in the rate of neonatal death in the 7 days after birth, but the rate of stillbirth was significantly reduced. In a subsequent cluster-randomized trial, training in the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (more advanced resuscitation training) did not significantly reduce rates of neonatal death or stillbirth. Training community-based birth attendants in rural communities in developing countries in routine care and resuscitation was not associated with a reduction in the rate of neonatal death in the 7 days after birth, but the rate of stillbirth was significantly reduced. Annually, there are approximately 3.7 million neonatal deaths and 3.3 million stillbirths worldwide. 1 Approximately 38% of deaths among children younger than 5 years of age occur during the first 28 days of life, and 75% of the neonatal deaths occur within the first 7 days. 1 – 3 Without a major reduction in neonatal deaths in the first 7 days after birth, achievement of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goal 4 — a reduction in mortality by two thirds among children younger than 5 years of age 2 — is unlikely to be realized. In areas of the world with high rates of . . .
