Ten Ukrainian neonatologists from the cities of Lviv and Ternopil traveled to Krakow, Poland to take part in the 12th International Conference of the Union of Neonatal and Perinatal Societies (UENPS).

Organized by (and held at the auditorium of the university hospital home of) longtime CMCF partner, former CMCF Fellow and current Polish Neonatal Society President, Prof. Ryszard Lauterbach, this convening brought together many of Europe’s most highly regarded neonatologists to share insights on practical challenges of everyday neonatal care giving.

Dr. Zoryana Ivanyuk, Medical Director of Saint Nicholas Hospital in Lviv, and CMCF’s Country Managing Director for Ukraine took time away from her extremely busy schedule to attend the event along with 5 other physicians from SNH’s neonatology department.

Representing Ternopil at the event were Prof. Halyna Pavlishin, Chair of the 2nd Department of Pediatrics at Ivan Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University and three of her neonatology department staff.
