The AAP Global Implementation Task Force is grateful for the 2005 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations which are the evidence-based foundation for Helping Babies Breathe.
The AAP extends sincere appreciation to the World Health Organization for their collaboration and consultation as we all strive to achieve Millennium Development Goal number Four: to reduce the under-five mortality rate by two-thirds, between 1990 and 2015.
Helping Babies Breathe is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from The Laerdal Foundation for Acute Medicine, Stavanger, Norway. Special thanks to Tore Laerdal for his innovation, compassionate spirit, and dedication to saving lives.
Evaluation of educational materials is supported by Latter-Day Saints Charities, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Implementation evaluation is supported by the USAID.
