 The Egyptian Neonatal Safety Training Network (ENSTN) originated from a 2013 project funded by Tempus.The main objective was to develop and support an organisation that would establish high standards of practice in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), inform and train the whole range of health care workers dealing with infants (neonatologists, pediatricians, nurses, medical students, and others), and promote a culture of patient safety.More detailed goals included formulating protocols and guidelines to enhance continuity of care in NICUs, conducting research on specific aspects of patient safety, and reporting adverse events.
