TMU Celebrated National NRP Day with BNRP Training
The Department of Paediatrics at Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College and Research Centre celebrated National NRP Day Celebration on 10 May 2026 with great enthusiasm. The main aim of the National NRP Day Celebration was to improve neonatal resuscitation skills and spread awareness about safe newborn care based on national guidelines. All faculty members, doctors, nursing staff, and students actively participated in the programme.
The Department of Paediatrics organised the event to encourage healthcare professionals to learn the latest methods of newborn resuscitation. The program focused on saving newborn babies by providing timely and effective care immediately after birth. The event also highlighted the importance of proper training for everyone involved in newborn care.
Basic Neonatal Resuscitation Program (BNRP) Conducted
A Basic Neonatal Resuscitation Program (BNRP) course was conducted for postgraduate students, junior residents, and nursing staff. The course included scientific lectures, practical skill stations, simulation-based learning, and live demonstrations of neonatal resuscitation techniques. Participants learned the latest national guidelines for newborn resuscitation through interactive sessions. The event helped participants understand the correct steps to manage newborn emergencies with confidence.
Hands-on Neonatal Resuscitation Practice
The practical training was one of the most important parts of the event. Participants practised neonatal resuscitation on mannequins under the guidance of experienced instructors. They learned airway management, bag and mask ventilation, thermal protection, and team-based resuscitation. These practical sessions improved their confidence and clinical skills for handling newborn emergencies.
The scientific sessions explained the importance of the "Golden Minute" in neonatal resuscitation. Faculty members discussed how quick and correct action during the first minute after birth could reduce neonatal illness and save lives. Participants understood the value of teamwork and timely intervention during emergency situations.
The Chief Guest of the event was Prof. Dr N. K. Singh, Principal of the college. Vice Principal Prof. Prathipal Singh Matreja, Head of the Department of Pediatrics Dr. Roopa Singh, and instructors Dr N. S. Chithambaram, Dr Shalabh Agrawal, and Dr Vivek Tyagi were also present. The training was coordinated by Prof. Dr Bablu Kumar Gaur, Professor, Department of Paediatrics, who served as the Course Coordinator and Lead Instructor.
Conclusion
The National NRP Day Celebration at TMU successfully strengthened the knowledge and practical skills of healthcare professionals involved in newborn care. The program ended with participant feedback, certificate distribution, and a vote of thanks to all faculty members, instructors, and organising staff for making the event successful. The celebration reflected TMU's continued commitment to improving neonatal healthcare through quality education and practical training.
