Proposal to provide neonatal respirators in Rajasthan

Installation of machines at Bharatpur proves successful
Following the successful installation of neonatal respirators in Bharatpur district, a public service institution has recommended that the machines be provided at all primary and community health centres in Rajasthan to save lives of infants. Bharatpur was the State's first district to get respirators for infants at all health centres by 2020.
The respirators enable doctors and labour room staff to provide neonatal resuscitation with the correct physiological parameters to newborns having breathing problems. The babies born in rural hospitals can be resuscitated at the site of delivery within the “golden first minute”, giving them a chance to survive.
