About Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing Professional Diploma
Every baby born is a blessing, and every baby deserves nurturing, protection, and the best of care. Whilst not always preventable, the death of a newborn baby is a tragic loss for the family, the medical community that cared for it, and the Jordanian community at large. A considerable proportion of neonatal deaths are preventable, and it is with this aim and purpose that a group of concerned professionals have pooled their resources and skills in the hope of preventing many of these tragedies. Herein lies the importance of Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing Professional Diploma.
The Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) is often used as an indicator of the socioeconomic situation and health status of a country. In Jordan NMR stands at 17/1000 live births (DHS 2002), which is considered one of the lowest rates in the region. However, a further reduction of neonatal mortality in Jordan still remains a challenge.
