Abstract

AbstractIn 2016, Latter‐day Saint Charities, the humanitarian arm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‐day Saints, sponsored instructor–training courses in 29 countries for neonatal resuscitation, training 3806 instructors. This study describes by country the type of professionals trained (27.7 per cent were doctors, 32.7 per cent were nurses and 19.6 per cent were midwives), the resuscitation equipment provided (bag and mask, bulb syringe and stethoscope), the number of deliveries and resuscitations performed and the extent that trainees train others. Overall, the per cent of deliveries requiring resuscitation was 8.2 per cent. On average, over 20 health care workers were trained within 6 months by each professional initially trained by Latter‐day Saint Charities. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
