EFCNI Campaigns

Raising awareness and increasing our impact is what our campaigns are about.  Yet, we also support our partner parent organisations by providing campaign materials they can use to inform and activate their own networks. Our campaigns are either centred around special awareness days, e.g. World Prematurity Day, or general issues like hand hygiene or health education, or around pregnancy-related conditions like pre-eclampsia or special diseases like ROP. We aim to inform, empower and support parents and carers of preterm born children, families,  parent groups, medical experts, educators, political decision-makers and many more.
