11 Months – 11 Topics

With the campaign “11 Months – 11 Topics”, launched in 2016, EFCNI’s social media and online communication focuses from February to December on one newborn health standard topic. They correspond to the eleven main subjects of the European Standards of Care for Newborn Health. Every month,  the corresponding topic is explained by sharing infographics, related publications, news, interviews, or guest articles.

“11 Months – 11 Topics” reaches out to health professionals and policy makers, but also to lay persons who are to benefit from the dissemination of the standards in the long run, namely the preterm babies and their parents, relatives, and friends. With this campaign, extensive information and best practice examples are shared in order to raise awareness of the need for standards.

Why do we need these standards?

Watch the Chairs of our Topic Expert Groups explain why Standards of Care are necessary in these areas.
