About Us
Tamilnadu state branch of national neonatology forum was the
brain child of the then doyens in pediatrics who fore thought neonatology as a
speciality by itself in the early 80s. Dr.Nagasamy , Dr.Jayam ,
Dr.C.Thirugnasambandam , Dr,K .G.Kamala and Dr.Gopal were the initial
torch bearers making Tamilnadu as one of the early state branches of Central NNF.
Tamil nadu hosted the 3rd annual NNF convention in Chennai way back in 1983 under their leadership.
Following
their footsteps Tamilnadu NNF was taken to greater heights by Dr.R. Shanmugasundaram , Dr.Prabhakar ,
Dr.Gita and Dr.T.L.Rathnakumari and Dr.Kumutha by recruiting more members, holding annual state
conferences and city neonatology meets which are still continuing.
A statewide training program in neonatal advanced life support (NALS) was widely conducted among the
doctors under the leadership of Dr.R.Shanmugasundaram to improve the delivery room care of neonates
and birth asphyxia which is an important contributor to neonatal mortality was reduced.

Recognizing danger signs in newborns is crucial. Seek immediate medical care if the baby has difficulty breathing, poor feeding, fever, or unusual sleepiness.
Breastfeeding provides essential nutrition for your baby. Ensure proper latching, feed regularly, and maintain a comfortable position for both mother and child.
Newborn jaundice is common and usually harmless, but it should be monitored closely. Look for yellowing of the skin and eyes, and consult a doctor if it increases or persists.
