Career Opportunity for the Research Project: ‘Breathing for Babies (BfB) Package Ecosystem Study’

PROJECT SUMMARY

The Breathing for Babies (BfB) Package Ecosystem Study is a three-year observational cohort study employing a mixed-methods approach. It focuses on evaluating the feasibility and impact of the VAYU CPAP ecosystem across three key areas: Neonatal Inpatient Care, Labor and Delivery, and Ambulatory Care. The study will be conducted in Temeke, Ilala, and Kinondoni districts of Dar es Salaam, involving primary healthcare facilities (Mabwepande Hospital, Kivule Hospital, Yombo Hospital) connected to regional referral hospitals (Mwananyamala, Amana, and Temeke) and supported by tertiary facilities (Muhimbili National Hospital (Upanga) and Mloganzila) through a Hub and Spokes Model. The goal is to generate evidence to inform national policy, planning, and scaling of CPAP services, thereby improving care for small and sick newborns across Tanzania.
