Abstract
Efficient management of neonates with respiratory problems has been a challenge at the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) of the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital (NDUTH) Yenagua, Nigeria owing to lack of appropriate technologies to improve care. A recent initiative of SCBU-substation specifically tasked for neonatal respiratory support was installed at NDUTH, possessing effective features against all factors that limited the SCBU success rate in the past. The substation commenced service immediately after installation, delivering over 95% success rate across 23 patients treated within the first eight weeks of usage. The initiative is proving to be the most robust and efficient response to the challenge of neonatal respiratory support in Nigeria which should be adopted to tackle this LMIC neonatal care problem.
