The National Ambulance Service (NAS), in collaboration with Kansas State University, is conducting a nationwide training program titled “Helping Babies Breathe” to enhance the skills of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) across Ghana.
Speaking at the event, Prof. Ahmed Nuhu Zakariah, Chief Executive Officer of the National Ambulance Service, urged all EMTs to take the training seriously to refine their skills in handling critical situations.
“Helping Babies Breathe” (HBB) is a specialized neonatal resuscitation program that equips healthcare providers with essential skills to assist newborns struggling to breathe after birth.
Research has shown that HBB techniques can significantly reduce neonatal mortality and fresh stillbirths.
Kansas State University, a renowned public research institution based in Manhattan, Kansas, is recognized for its advanced research in various fields.
The National Ambulance Service continues to fulfill its mandate of providing pre-hospital emergency care to the sick and injured.
