The Neonatal/Perinatal Medical Forum (NPMF), is an interdisciplinary scientific conference focused on countries with similar economic background, financial structure and history of health care development. It was established to facilitate exchange of practical and scientific information among healthcare professionals, to promote innovations and stimulate awareness to public of the most relevant medical issues. Moreover the meeting offers a good platform to have a close contact to leading experts for active discussion of daily clinical practice.

The focus of the conference is on current, practice related-themes in neonatology and preterm field in general. The structure has main emphasis on workshops, which run in parallel and are repeated in the loop of the meeting.

The intention is to create “working groups” on special topics as ventilation, neurology, infection or nutrition in order to discuss themes more deeply and actively involve the auditorium.

Furthermore there are sessions scheduled especially run by nurses to present the “nursing point of view”.
