Scientific Sessions

This session focuses on the specialized knowledge, skills, and compassionate care required to support newborns, infants, children, and their families across diverse healthcare settings. Pediatric and neonatal nurses play a vital role in promoting healthy development, managing acute and chronic conditions, and ensuring safe transitions through critical stages of early life. Key topics include neonatal intensive care (NICU practices), developmental milestones, pediatric assessment techniques, family-centered care, immunization strategies, management of congenital and genetic disorders, and evidence-based interventions for high-risk neonates and children. The session will also address emerging issues such as pediatric emergencies, pain management, infection prevention, and the integration of technology in monitoring and supporting young patients. Participants will gain insights into delivering age-appropriate, culturally sensitive, and emotionally supportive care, while strengthening communication with families and interdisciplinary teams. Case examples will highlight best practices that improve outcomes, enhance safety, and foster resilience in pediatric and neonatal populations.
