Since we opened in 2006, the 99nicu project has been driven by an altruistic vision, that we need this community to help each other provide the best care for our little patients. Despite that we have felt committed to a high degree of professionalism and independence, it is also a fact that 99nicu has been an “amateur project”, managed and mostly funded as a hobby, by us keeping the site up and running.

99nicu is a professional community open for professionals in neonatal medicine. In this context, we also welcome representatives for companies with medications and technology used in neonatal care.

We nourished a similar idea at the Karolinska University Hospital at that time and in a joint effort we organised the 1st EBNEO conference back in 2011. The 2nd EBNEO conference, chaired by prof Hesham Abdel-Hady based in Mansoura/Egypt, was held in 2013 in Istanbul, and will take place in Philadelphia/US, hosted by prof Haresh Kirpalani. To give the idea of evidence-based neonatology a context, we have formed the International Society for Evidence-Based Neonatology (EBNEO) as a non-profit organisation that will nourishes a vision that all neonat…
