Ľubica Kaiserová from malíček, a parent and patient organization in Slovakia, advocates for better care and support for preterm babies and their families. She highlights challenges that extend beyond medical treatment, from psychological support to parents’ presence in hospitals.
As part of Faces of GFCNI, Ľubica reflects on these needs and shares how working with healthcare professionals – and learning from approaches in other countries – can help bring about meaningful change.
