Standards launched
in the European Parliament

A joint European effort
to develop standards
for newborn health

About 220 healthcare professionals
and parent representatives
from more than 30 countries
developed the standards.

The neonatal period
and beyond

Standards start with the perinatal
period and continue until well after
discharge into early childhood.
For this reason, they were developed by
healthcare professionals from different disciplines.

Parents and professionals
side-by-side

In the project, parents and health care
professionals worked together as partners.
An open exchange and a respectful partnership
to pave the way for change.
