About Irish Neonatal Health Alliance
The Irish Neonatal Health Alliance is a voluntary organisation and registered charity and our vision is to support and empower families affected by premature birth by advocating increased awareness, improved pre-conceptual, ante-natal and post natal education, equitable and standardised neonatal care and improved long-term care for both the premature baby and the family.
Our objective, through consultation with global networks of prematurity groups, healthcare professionals, educators, researchers, political decision makers and industry stakeholders is to foster the exchange of information, provide education to healthcare professionals and families and with one collective voice, to provide the platform for a coordinated and integrated program of collaborative support in the field of neonatal care in Ireland.
