At the Global Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (GFCNI), we believe in the power of connection and collaboration to drive progress in newborn and maternal care. Our conferences and congresses are a testament to our commitment to shaping global discourses around preterm birth and hospitalizations of newborns/infants more generally.

These events bring together families, patient and parent organizations, healthcare professionals, researchers, and medical societies from across the globe. By fostering open dialogue and shared learning, we create opportunities to strengthen partnerships, share best practices, and develop innovative approaches to care. Through these gatherings, we actively participate in research, create new knowledge, and contribute valuable insights that advance care for newborns and their families.

Our conferences empower national and local patient and parent organizations, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to advocate effectively and amplify their impact. At the same time, we promote collaboration between families, healthcare professionals, and researchers, ensuring care is informed by lived experience, medical expertise, and evidence-based innovation.

Discover how our events inspire collaboration, deepen understanding, and fuel meaningful change in the field of maternal and newborn health. We can’t wait to welcome you!
