HBB (Helping Babies Breathe)

Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) is a training program aimed at improving the skills of healthcare providers to assist newborns who have difficulty breathing immediately after birth. It focuses on simple, effective techniques, such as clearing airways and providing gentle ventilation with a bag and mask, to support the baby’s breathing until they can breathe independently. HBB helps reduce newborn deaths and health issues caused by asphyxia, especially in resource-limited settings. The program emphasizes teamwork, proper recognition of breathing problems, and prompt intervention, ultimately saving lives and promoting healthy beginnings for newborns.
