Advancing Neonatal Care in Resource-Limited Settings (Zoom)

Dr. Stella Kyoyagala and Dr. Elias Kumbakumba

9:10 am - 9:40 am, Feb. 8, 2024

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the presenters were unable to attend.  The Nov. 21, 2023 Rounds presentation by Dr. Stella Kyoyagala, Dr. Doug McMillan, Dr. Susan Niermeyer, and Dr. Khalid Aziz on Kangaroo Care was played in instead.

The original presentation was going to focus on the role of global partnerships.  It is our hope that we can eventually provide a recording of Dr. Kyoyagala and Dr. Kumbakumba's presentation which will focus on how neonatal care has advanced overtime in their hospital unit in Uganda and how the different partnerships have moved them forward. Stay tuned!
