Abstract
Through your generous donations, ANN’s contribution of $2,500 to the Council of International Neonatal Nurses (COINN) enabled two neonatal nurses to attend the 6th International Neonatal Nursing Conference in New Delhi, India, organized by the National Neonatal Forum of India. The recipients of the scholarships are Shobha Nepali and Shela Akbar Ali Hirani. Ms. Nepali is from Nepal and currently is the president of the Nepal Australia Maitri Sangh Association. Ms. Hirani is an instructor at the Aga Khan University School of Nursing in Karachi, Pakistan. According to Ms. Nepali, “I was so excited; it was my first trip to New Dehli, India. At the conference, there was a common feeling among neonatal nurses that their voices were not being heard and they have no influence on budget decisions. I can clearly see the discontent among nurses in developing countries who have advanced skills. Nonetheless, nurses from India have pursued recognition of their rights, as shown by the inauguration of the Indian Association of Neonatal Nurses. During the COINN conference we prioritized the following action points: (1) better nurse education and clinical training, (2) an exchange program for global unity, and (3) research focus on evidence. I am grateful to COINN for providing me with such a great opportunity to attend the 6th International Neonatal Nursing Conference 2007. I refreshed my knowledge and expertise, and I will try my best to share this among the people of Nepal.”
