The Mother-Baby Bonding Room, built by the Mother and Baby Health Foundation within our hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, was opened with a ceremony.
Prior to the opening ceremony, an event was held in our hospital's conference hall where efforts to protect and improve maternal and infant health, as well as the importance of mother-infant bonding, were discussed.
During the program, Prof. Dr. Hafize Öksüz, Dean of the KSÜ Faculty of Medicine, Prof. Dr. Yılmaz İnanç, Deputy Chief Physician of our Hospital, Prof. Dr. Sadık Yurttutan, Head of the Neonatology Department, and Zuhal Ramazanoğlu, President of the Mother and Baby Health Foundation, made statements regarding the significance of the day. The speeches highlighted the role of uninterrupted contact between mother and baby from birth in the healthy bonding process, the importance of family-centered care practices, and the contributions that the Mother-Baby Bonding Room will make to neonatal intensive care services. Furthermore, the importance of such practices was emphasized.
Following the program in the conference hall, participants inaugurated the Mother-Baby Bonding Room created in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the room was toured and information was provided to the participants.
The Mother-Baby Bonding Room, realized with the contributions of the Mother and Baby Health Foundation, aims to strengthen the mother-baby bond and support the care process by enabling mothers to spend more time with their babies, especially those receiving treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit.
As a hospital, we would like to thank the Mother and Baby Health Foundation for their valuable contributions and wish that the Mother and Baby Bonding Room will be beneficial to our patients, their families, and the healthcare community.
