The first International Conference on National Brain Monitoring ‘Neoneurocriticon 2020’ will held on 18th and 19th January at Hotel Renai Cochin, Palarivattom, Kochi.

The Conference will focus on the recent advances in term and preterm brain injury with regard to neonatal neurocritical care which encompasses expertise in neuromonitoring, neuroradiology and neuroprotection, with the ultimate aim of protecting the brain and minimizing brain injury.

The department of Neonatology, Renai Medicity, Kochi will conduct the event in association with National neonatology Forum, Ernakulam and Indian Academy of Pediatrics, Kochi.

The speakers are international experts with vast clinical and research experience in the field from the University of Calgary, Canada along with local faculty. There will be hands-on workshops on Neonatal Brain Monitoring and Neonatal Neuroradiology prior to the conference. The workshops are simulation-based, where state of the art neonatal simulators including 3D printed phantoms and computer based simulators will be used; thereby enabling the delegates to gain relevant practical skills to use in neonatal critical care.

As many as 250 doctors from across the country will be participating in this conference.
