Respiratory distress is a leading cause of preterm infant mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) emerging as potentially safe, cost-effective way delivering noninvasive respiratory support low-income and middle-income countries. However, without healthcare providers who are knowledgeable skilled the use this technology, suboptimal neonatal care related health disparities likely to persist.We hypothesized that an Internet-based, blended curriculum...
