Watch Preemie voices | Listen to Neonatology Now

Preemie Voices is hands down my favorite neo project. I've seen these movies several times, each time cried like a baby. It gives you a reality check - everything we do or not do as clinicians matter in the long term health of these individuals. They do their best to thrive with what was given to them. Quality of life, just like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. It always makes me think about the importance of qualitative research and inclusion of affected individuals and their families in the conversation. I'm really excited about an upcoming thesis defense at the University of Turku- my colleague Anniina Väliaho is going to present her thesis titled "MY MIRACLE CHILD” – EXPERIENCES OF FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN BORN AT 23–24 WEEKS OF GESTATION A Qualitative Descriptive Study.
