The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association has been a prominent leader of neonatal resuscitation develop- ment and is now in its third decade. The NRP, along with other neonatal resuscitation programs, has been taught in
more than 100 countries. Experience teaching and dissemi-nating neonatal resuscitation around the world helped expand the growing understanding of the special needs of resource-poor environments.
