About Us
Our support group was previously known as Early Starters Club, which catered specifically to the needs of parents of preterm babies. To place equal emphasis to the needs of parents with term babies in NICU, we have renamed our support group this year.
Neonatal parent support group aims to provide information, support, encouragement and resources for parents and families, whose newborns are hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of National University Hospital.
