The Art of Neonatal Care: Redefining Excellence Through Family Partnership to Shape Better Beginnings
A message from the President
Honored Guests and Colleagues, Welcome!
On behalf of the Neonatal Service Committee, we are delighted to welcome you to the 4th EHS International Neonatal Conference, taking place on 13–14 November 2026 at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre, Dubai, UAE.
Under the theme, “Redefining Excellence Through Family Partnership to Shape Better Beginnings,” this Conference emphasizes that parents are not merely visitors in the neonatal journey, but essential partners in their baby’s care. Their presence, participation, knowledge, and emotional connection play a vital role in supporting development, strengthening bonding, improving care experiences, and contributing to better outcomes for newborns.
Over two inspiring days, renowned international, regional, and national experts will share the latest advances in neonatal nutrition, neuroprotection, cardiovascular and respiratory care, developmental care, and family-centered practice through keynote lectures, interactive discussions, workshops, and poster presentations.
Join us for an exceptional scientific gathering where knowledge, innovation, compassion, and family partnership come together to shape better beginnings and improve outcomes for newborns and their families. We look forward to welcoming you to Dubai
