1st International Conference of the
Bangladesh Neonatal Forum

Bangladesh Neonatal Forum (BNF) invites you to participate in the 1st International
Conference of the Bangladesh Neonatal Forum to be held from 6-8th February
2008,

Website: www.bnfbd.org .

In Bangladesh, as in many developing countries, neonatal mortality is the main
contributor to infant mortality. In the past two decades, although survival rates have
improved, neonatal mortality still remains unacceptably high. The conference will be
an opportunity to share our experience as we all strive to provide quality care for
neonates.

This year’s comprehensive scientific program will include CME, Symposia, Plenary
sessions, Free papers and Poster presentations. An enjoyable cultural program will take
place alongside scientific deliberations.   

We hope that you will be able to participate in the conference. Your involvement will
strengthen the development of better neonatal care in Bangladesh and help us to
achieve MDG4 in Bangladesh.

We look forward to welcoming you to this important event.
