The goal of this event is to increase public awareness of preterm delivery, the journey that parents and families take, and the methods for taking care of premature infants. This is particularly crucial because preterm birth rates are rising quickly worldwide. Sadly, one of the main causes of death in children under the age of five is complications from premature birth.

The emphasis is on getting neonatal units to help parents connect with their premature kids through touch, especially by holding them skin-to-skin. Skin-to-skin contact popularly known as kangaroo mother care is a very helpful and effective therapy, which is crucial for premature infants. It is not only performed by the mother of the child, fathers are also allowed to carry out skin-to-skin contact. Its use aids in the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding, the stabilization of vital signs, and the development of healthy microbiota. It is important and should be initiated once the neonate is stable.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
