Reviewer 3 Report

The results published in this work are predictable, but useful nonetheless. There is no doubt that adequate training of medical staff in newborn resuscitation will have a major impact on early neonatal mortality. The quality of early resuscitation will affect late neonatal mortality indirectly. These results apply mainly, but not only, to the developing countries of the world. In these conditions, a number of socio-economic factors play their role, which is mainly signaled by the disproportionately high percentage of prematurity (over 25%) as the main factor of perinatal pathology. Emphasis of work on systematic training of personnel in postnatal resuscitation It is still a current topic.
