Every Breath Counts

Ghana, St. Patrick’s Hospital

Dr. Dorcas Naa Dedei Aryeetey shared this photo with Dr. Felicia Duopa Okyere, Senior Specialist Pediatrician at St. Patrick’s Hospital, a district hospital located in Offinso-Maase in Ghana’s Ashanti Region.

Dr. Dorcas told us:
“Yesterday, while revising the management plan for some of our babies, we were discussing their care and I asked my boss that we compare notes from the Tiny Feet Big Steps Protocol Book – Every Breath Counts – and review our care plan.”

Moments like these remind us why we created Every Breath Counts: to provide practical, evidence-based guidance that helps healthcare teams deliver the best possible care for newborns and children.
