  • Developing paediatric subspecialty training in resource-limited settings; the first neonatology subspeciality program in Tanzania

    Open AccessHelga Naburi, Nahya Salim et al.ARTICLEBMC Medical Education2026

    BACKGROUND: Neonatal mortality remains high in Tanzania, where progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 is constrained by a severe shortage of trained workforce. To achieve the goal, Tanzania, with approximately two million annual births, aims to reduce neonatal mortality from 24 to fewer than 12 deaths per 1,000 live births by 2030. In 2020, only five neonatologists, including expatriates, were available nationwide. To fill this gap, the…

  • Neonatal resuscitation skills retention among healthcare providers one year after implementation of in situ low-dose high-frequency simulations using innovative tools across two regions in Tanzania

    Open AccessFlorence Salvatory Kalabamu, Vickfarajaeli Daudi et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2026

    Background The Safer Births Bundle of Care (SBBC) was introduced in five regions in Tanzania to improve the quality of care around birth. Among the interventions was an initiative to train healthcare providers on neonatal resuscitation following the Helping Babies Breathe curriculum, using innovative simulation tools.Objectives This study aimed to assess simulated neonatal resuscitation skills retention and associated factors one year after imple…

  • Availability and functioning of neonatal care units and neonatal mortality across five regions in Tanzania

    Open AccessFelix Bundala, Felix Ambrose Bundala et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: The neonatal mortality rate in Tanzania has remained persistently high, at 24 deaths per 1000 live births. To halve the current death rate by 2030, the WHO recommends that by 2025, at least 80% of districts should have a neonatal care unit (NCU) and use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device for respiratory support, among small and sick newborns. This study describes the availability and functioning of NCUs and facility-b…

  • Acceptability Among Healthcare Providers of In Situ, Low-Dose, High-Frequency Neonatal Resuscitation Simulation Training Using Innovative Tools

    Open AccessFlorence Salvatory Kalabamu, Vickfarajaeli Daudi et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Introduction : Newborn mortality is unacceptably high, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The Safer Births Bundle of Care (SBBC) was implemented in Tanzania, including training of healthcare workers on neonatal resuscitation by means of frequent in situ simulation training using improved training tools. We aimed to assess the acceptability of this training model among healthcare providers in selected health facilities under SBBC inte…

  • Safer Births Bundle of Care” Implementation and Perinatal Impact at 30 Hospitals in Tanzania—Halfway Evaluation

    Open AccessHege Ersdal, Paschal Mdoe et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Safer Births Bundle of Care (SBBC) consists of innovative clinical and training tools for improved labour care and newborn resuscitation, integrated with new strategies for continuous quality improvement. After implementation, we hypothesised a reduction in 24-h newborn deaths, fresh stillbirths, and maternal deaths by 50%, 20%, and 10%, respectively. This is a 3-year stepped-wedged cluster randomised implementation study, including 30 facilities…

  • Neurodevelopmental Outcome at 6 Months Following Neonatal Resuscitation in Rural Tanzania

    Open AccessIngrid Ask Torvik, Robert Moshiro et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Early bag-mask ventilation (BMV) administered to non-breathing neonates at birth in the presence of birth asphyxia (interruption of placental blood flow) has reduced neonatal mortality by up to 50% in low- and middle-income countries. The neurodevelopmental outcome of neonates receiving BMV remains unknown. Using the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool (MDAT), infants who received BMV at birth were assessed at 6 months, evaluating gross motor, f…

  • Fetal to Neonatal Heart Rate Transition during Normal Vaginal Deliveries

    Open AccessYuda Munyaw, Jarle Urdal et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Documentation of fetal to neonatal heart rate (HR) transition is limited. The aim of the current study was to describe HR changes from one hour before to one hour after normal vaginal deliveries. We conducted a prospective observational cohort study in Tanzania from 1 October 2020 to 30 August 2021, including normal vaginal deliveries with normal neonatal outcomes. HR was continuously recorded from one hour before to one hour after delivery, usin…

  • Factors affecting effective ventilation during newborn resuscitation

    Open AccessRobert Moshiro, Hege Ersdal et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2018

    BACKGROUND: Intrapartum-related hypoxia accounts for 30% of neonatal deaths in Tanzania. This has led to the introduction and scaling-up of the Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) programme, which is a simulation-based learning programme in newborn resuscitation skills. Studies have documented ineffective ventilation of non-breathing newborns and the inability to follow the HBB algorithm among providers. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at exploring barriers…
