Small and Sick Newborn Care (SSNC) 2024Abstract
As the parent of a premature child, who was thrusted into a world where I knew nothing about it, the greatest gift I was given was that ofFi-Care. You see, I had my preemie almost years ago,andback then already, our neonatal team understood the importance of having us, the parents, at the centre of our child's care. They knew something (that at that time I did not), that even with the greatest doctors and technology, nothing can truly replace the bond that is shared through parents and their children, and more importantly the long-term positive out comes this provides. I saw how being beside our child, daily, form any hours, how taking on the role of his caregivers and not being treated as visitors, propelled his growth and healing.
