International Workshop on Neonatal Care in Addis Ababa: Strengthening Newborn Health in Ethiopia

UENPS is proud to be a partner in the project "Strengthening Maternal and Newborn Health Services in Ethiopia", an initiative led by Doctors with Africa CUAMM, in collaboration with the Ethiopian Pediatric Society (EPS) and the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH), with the support of the Italian Cooperation and the Italian Embassy in Ethiopia.

As part of this commitment, UENPS contributed to the International Workshop on Neonatal Care, which took place in Addis Ababa from January 28 to 31, 2025. This workshop was made possible thanks to the "Survey on Neonatal Resuscitation and Respiratory Care in Ethiopia", conducted by UENPS, which involved 42 Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) across Ethiopia. The survey played a crucial role in identifying key gaps in neonatal care, establishing a strong professional network, and providing essential data to guide discussions during the workshop.
The event gathered neonatologists, pediatricians, nurses, and health professionals from across Ethiopia, along with international experts, to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and develop concrete strategies for improving neonatal resuscitation and respiratory care.
As a partner in the "Strengthening Maternal and Newborn Health Services in Ethiopia" project, UENPS remains dedicated to building connections, fostering collaboration, and advancing neonatal care. We are honored to work alongside CUAMM, EPS, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, the Italian Cooperation, and the Italian Embassy in Ethiopia to achieve these shared goals.
