A pre-test and post-test were conducted to assess learning outcomes. The post-test was reviewed question-by-question to reinforce key concepts and clarify areas of difficulty. The workshop emphasized teamwork, practical skills, and timely decision-making in neonatal emergencies, helping participants strengthen their knowledge, confidence, and readiness to manage newborn resuscitation effectively.
