Individualized Newborn Developmental Intervention Application – Evidence-based (INDIA EBUS) for Preterm Babies
Introduction
Because advances in preterm neonatal survival have overtaken advances in preterm birth prevention, the impact of long-term problems on these survivors is becoming more well recognised.

Let's discuss about how we can make a difference with new and revolutionary INDIA EBUS (Individual Newborn Developmental Intervention Application – Evidence-based & Ultra SMART).
Objectives
At the end of presentation, the participants will be able to
• Enumerate five different aspects of Developmental care of the preterm babies.
• Justify the need of Individualized Developmental Intervention in the NICU
