Humanitarian Neonatology Award
In 2017, the Swiss Society of Neonatology decided to set up an Annual Award Program for Humanitarian Neonatology (CHF 5'000.00, increased to CHF 10'000 in 2019, to be awarded every other year). Projects must be set up in low or middle income countries and have a non-profit character. They must be likely to be sustainable and involve health care professionals from Switzerland.
From 2023, the Humanitarian Neonatology Award will be sponsored and applications be assessed by the Regional Directors of the Swiss neonatal resuscitation program start4neo. Thus, please send your application to start4neo@neonet.ch
Submission deadline: March 31, 2023
