简要总结
The aim of this study is to test an intervention that has potential to improve acute care skills and confidence related to safe delivery and newborn care for mid-level health providers in Uganda by the development of a 'mobile' simulation package including scale-up materials based upon research evidence. In this randomized study investigators will compare the impact of a peer learning package on skills, knowledge and team work regarding newborn care among health workers in rural south western Uganda.

In this randomized study investigators will compare the impact of a peer learning package on skills, knowledge and team work regarding newborn care among health workers in rural south western Uganda.
The cluster randomized study will have two arms; intervention arm receives peer learning program. In this program, two health workers at the same health facility teach each other using case scenarios. The case scenarios will be based on common neonatal conditions such as neonatal sepsis, hypothermia and prematurity.
The two study arms will both receive training on HBB and Essential care for every baby (ECEB)
