11 Months – 11 Topics

< Back to Implementation

11 Months – 11 Topics is our ongoing awareness campaign aimed at raising awareness for the European Standards of Care for Newborn Health. Each month from February to December, we highlight one of the eleven topics of the European Standards of Care for Newborn Health (ESCNH):

Since its launch, the campaign has highlighted key areas of neonatal care by focusing on one topic each month, accompanied by a Standard in Brief. These concise, visual summaries are designed to make the ESCNH more accessible and to support reflection, discussion, and implementation across diverse healthcare settings.

Over time, 11 Months – 11 Topics has contributed to increased visibility of the ESCNH and their role as reference standards for quality, equity, and continuity of care for newborns and their families.

A comprehensive overview of all Standards in Brief and related materials is available in the Downloads section of the website.
