Background:Of 136 million babies born annually, around 10 million require assistance to breathe. Each year 814,000 deaths result from intrapartum related events in term babies (previously “birth asphyxia”) and 103 million from complications of prematurity. Systematic training in resuscitation of the newborn is a cornerstone of modern neonatology.

            Aim of the study:To evaluate effectiveness of neonatal resuscitation training

Methods: We conducted systematic reviews of the studies reporting relevant effectiveness of teaching neonatal resuscitation.

Results:We identified 80 studies of neonatal resuscitation program.    Studies were excluded due to incomplete information. So finally10studies accepted who full filled the inclusion criteria.

Conclusion:Incorporating neonatal resuscitation in continuing education and professional training program at larger scale is recommended. It will help in control over neonatal mortality rate.
