NRP Global Overview

The NRP course has been officially rolled out in 28 countries, and the textbook has been translated into at least 6 different languages.

Formal NRP Rollout

The NRP is rolling out in a phased approach globally. We are utilizing AHA International Training Centers (ITCs) to standardize NRP trainings in other countries. Expert NRP faculty are working with local representatives to train new instructors who will then be able to disseminate NRP at ITCs throughout their region. If you are interested in learning more about implementing NRP in your region please email [email protected].

NRP Provider Cards Outside the US

Neonatal Resuscitation Program Provider cards are issued in select regions that are part of the official NRP rollout. International eCards are issued in these regions as long as the training is done at official AHA International Training Centers. Cards are not issued for training done outside of the ITCs because the AAP cannot verify that these trainings meet NRP standards.

E-NRP

Learners in most countries where an official NRP rollout has not taken place have the option to take e-NRP. This provides access to the NRP Advanced Provider eLearning content as well as a two-year, limited-time online access to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation eBook. Completing this online courseware will issue a completion certificate but will NOT issue an NRP eCard and does NOT include a hands-on component. Learners interested in taking e-NRP can select it from the catalog in the NRP Learning Platform if they are located in one of the appropriate countries.

Neonatal Resuscitation in Resource-Limited Areas

In resource-limited areas, it may be appropriate to use the World Health Organization (WHO) Essential Newborn Care 1: Immediate Care and Helping Babies Breathe at Birth  module, which incorporates all content of the Academy’s Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) curriculum, updated to align with WHO recommendations and guidelines.  Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions related to either of these programs.
