Encouraging women to deliver in hospitals has become a pivotal strategy. Numerous training programmes, such as Helping Babies Breathe (HBB), have been designed to impart neonatal resuscitation and infant care skills to support breathing at birth. Limited attention has been given to exploring the perspectives and experiences of midwives and their hospital managers in translating the acquired knowledge from these programmes into practice. This study aims to explores the understanding, perspectives, and first-hand experiences related to the factors impacting neonatal resuscitation practices and survival, both pre-HBB and post-HBB training.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Qualitative individual interviews and focus group discussions study.

Excessive workload, limited access to clean equipment, and ethical dilemmas hampered performance and neonatal survival. Midwives, facing inadequate support, strived to ensure patient safety. While HBB training addresses malpractices, additional training was needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Midwives had few opportunities to change their workload and improve their education. This highlights the need for a closer examination of the challenges faced by healthcare providers in ensuring effective neonatal resuscitation and survival in low-resource settings.
