COVID-19 Neonatal Guidelines and Scientific Publications

By 17 de abril de 2020julho 24th, 2020Notícias

Updated Jul 23, 2020

 Dear friends,

IIn an attempt to keep health professionals who care for newborns updated with the huge amount of information that is being published daily on the various aspects of COVID-19, the Brazilian Neonatal Research Network has been offering weekly updates on its website. The Brazilian Network on Neonatal Research aims, with this initiative, to make available scientific articles and recommendations from different national and international societies in an organized way, focusing on the interface between COVID-19 and neonatal care. In addition, in the section “Food for Thought”, articles were selected from world leaders on topics related to the pandemic on specific issues that are generating controversy and concern. Reflecting about them can help readers to participate with responsibility in the debates occurring at local, regional, national and international levels. We wish everyone who is using this source of information provided by the Brazilian Network on Neonatal Research health and resilience to overcome such a difficult moment.
