WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRMEN
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
the Division of Neonatology and NICU of Sant’Anna Hospital in affiliation with the
“Crescere Insieme al Sant’Anna” Scientific and Research Neonatology Foundation
is proud to announce the 5th edition of the “International Conference on Clinical
Neonatology”, to be held in Torino, Italy on September 11-12-13, 2014.
In line with the spirit of the successful previous editions, held in November 2009,
March 2010, May 2012 and June 2013, the goal of this Conference is to present
the latest, updated scientific evidence on the care, treatment and follow-up of
preterm neonates. Once more, the congress will be a multidisciplinary program
of neonatal and perinatal research and practice, giving the opportunity to interact
and share clinical and research experiences with colleagues in the Neonatology
community.
Prominent international speakers from all the fields of Neonatology and Pediatrics
will provide comprehensive, up-to-date, research-based answers to the most
frequent questions that arise at patient’s bedside in everyday practice.
Torino is a splendid venue for this meeting and will give all the delegates the
opportunity to enjoy the unique charm of its beautiful baroque buildings, old
churches and renowned monuments, as well as with the unforgettable taste of the
local cuisine specialties like chocolates, truffles, and ravioli – needles to mention
the famous wines and spirits!
Please let me invite you to join us and attend this exciting event! As the Chair of
the organizing committee, I look forward to welcoming you in Torino.
Sincerely yours,

THE FOUNDATION
The Foundation: “Crescere insieme al Sant’Anna-ONLUS” and its Scientific
Committee Since its institution in 2005, the Foundation “Crescere insieme al
Sant’Anna-ONLUS” has set its objectives as being “the promotion of development
and well-being of newborn babies and their families, through all suitable ways,
including research and dissemination of knowledge in the field of neonatology...”.
To this purpose, together with its long standing associate “Juventus Footbal
Club” and through the Communication and Marketing Agency “Eurelab”, the
Foundation has developed a series of information, promotion and fund raising
events that have always pursued the objective of bridging together society and
the preterm newborns and their families. The setting up of a scientific committee
which supports both research and education in neonatology focuses on the aim
of involving a large part of society in the effort of improving knowledge in the
neonatal field and care for the smallest premature babies.
WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE
“FONDAZIONE CRESCERE INSIEME AL SANT’ANNA - ONLUS”
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
As the head of the Neonatology and NICU Department at
Sant’Anna Hospital and founder of “Crescere insieme al
Sant’Anna-ONLUS”, I am very happy to support again my
colleague Paolo in the organisation of the fourth edition of this
Conference that falls within the Foundation’s objectives and that
also allows us to consolidate research into neonatology through
the sharing of knowledge between all those who are part of this
branch of medicine. I am proud to welcome you once more in Turin, which is well
known for its Baroque architecture, imposing monuments and sites, picturesque
squares and porticos as well as its local culinary delights.
