Egyptian Neonatal Network (EGNN) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to improve the efficacy and efficiency of neonatal care in Egypt through a co-ordinated program of research, education, and quality improvement. EGNN holds a standardized database for patients admitted in neonatal care units that are members in the network. This helps researchers to participate in collaborative projects on a national and international level.
All activities of EGNN depend on the voluntary efforts of health professionals at the member units and interested members who can help achieving its goals. EGNN supports these efforts by providing and improving tools and new knowledge for the practice of evidence-based neonatology and the continuous improvement of neonatal care.
The Network started in 2010 and is supported by EU Tempus Grant as a part of the funded project entitled: “Egyptian Neonatal Network for Training Pediatricians”.
