#BabiesNeedScience - join this campaign kicked off by AAP

The American Academy of Pediatrics, AAP calls NICU staff, researchers, families and all others policy makers, kicking off the #BabiesNeedScience campaign on April 25!

While the initiative seems to originate in the current US context, we all know that science is essential for improving public health of infants world wide.

As an organisation connecting health care professionals in a global network, we share the values behind this campaign. It may seem like an obvious position that science is instrumental for evidence-based practices in NICUs. However, we experience a time in history where high-pitched opinions want to change the narrative about meaningful public health strategies to reduce the disease burden of newborns.

Therefore, the #BabiesNeedScience campaign is a timely initiative that we fully support. We want to encourage all 99nicu members to join this campaign, by speaking out why #BabiesNeedScience, on this web site and in your social media channels. Support and follow AAPs example.
