There are many organizations around the world that help contribute to better the lives of people around us. One example of an organization designed to help others is the Freedom of Breath, Foundation of Life: China’s Neonatal Resuscitation Program. “Birth asphyxia occurs before, during or just after birth, when a baby is deprived of oxygen. Though previous collaborative efforts attempted to bring lifesaving technology to select regions of China, the Freedom of Breath, Foundation of Life multi-sector partnership was the first to successfully implement the China Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) in a systematic and sustainable way across the country through governmental, professional and private enterprise collaboration” (Alliance for Case Studies for Global Health, n.d.). This was particularly important to these partners because birth asphyxia is the number one leading cause of infant mortality throughout Chinese cities.

Being a health science student whose infant sister was successfully delivered at BC Children’s Hospital and one who also had the opportunity to help clients inquire into the hospital, I have had several opportunities to learn about the its pediatric programs and found myself wanting to be part of its operations. As a student whose concentration is in public health, chronic disease and genetic disorders, I feel that I have the knowledge required for a respirology project assistant. Furthermore, I believe my experience communicating with Chinese patients, translating medical documents and collecting data from clients with PWD statuses are assets I can bring to the project, particularly in a culture and status sensitive place like Vancouver.

The education path to becoming a neonatologist is very tedious and intense. This includes four years of high school, a four-year college degree, four years of medical school, a pediatric internship and residency for three years, and finally a neonatology fellowship for three years. What many fail to realize is that they are not simply sitting in a classroom for the whole eighteen years. Following the second year of medical school, they get the chance to interact in a hands-on approach with patients under supervision. After graduating from medical school, an "M.D." degree is received.

As a nursing professional it will be my goal to improving the health and well-being of women, children and families. I am specifically interested in maternal and child healthcare. I would like to work with this population because there is a great need and the disparities in infant mortality rates have continued to increase over the years despite effort to decrease this trend. A mother’s health profoundly affects the health and well-being of her children so working to close the gaps in health disparities means reaching women prior to pregnancy and educating them on the importance of adopting healthy lifestyles.

A meta-analysis of three facility-based studies examined the effect of resuscitation training on intrapartum-related neonatal deaths (RR= 0.70, 95%CI 0.59-0.84); this estimate was used for the effect of facility-based basic neonatal resuscitation (additional to stimulation). The evidence for preterm mortality effect was low quality and thus expert opinion was sought. In community-based studies, resuscitation training was part of packages with multiple concurrent interventions, and/or studies did not distinguish term intrapartum-related from preterm deaths, hence no meta-analysis was conducted. Our Delphi panel of 18 experts estimated that immediate newborn assessment and stimulation would reduce both intrapartum-related and preterm deaths by 10%, facility-based resuscitation would prevent a further 10% of preterm deaths, and community-based resuscitation would prevent further 20% of intrapartum-related and 5% of preterm
