Limited access to specialized neonatal health care has been linked to the deaths of infants over the years and while the mortality rate has come down more still needs to be done, according to Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony.
The Ministry of Health partnered with the NGO, Giving Health to Kids Organization (GHTK) for a second conference at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre on Saturday, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) last year. This year, the conference saw over 250 persons in the medical field engaging in training on advancing neonatal care. The collaborative effort is set to establish a comprehensive neonatal network that extends support not only to medical experts but also to the general public.
