Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#029 - Scaling Newborn Care in Ghana: Telemedicine, Caffeine, and the Power of Collaboration

Q: What advice would you give to others trying to start similar neonatal programs in resource-limited settings?

Start small and advocate for mentorship; form a strong core team, assign clear roles, and collaborate across disciplines (neonatology, obstetrics, ophthalmology). Don't wait for perfect conditions—build momentum with incremental steps, track outcomes, and seek donors or government support to sustain essential services like caffeine citrate and screening tools.

#029 - Scaling Newborn Care in Ghana: Telemedicine, Caffeine, and the Power of Collaboration

Q: What were the main obstacles to implementing telemedicine-based ROP screening and how were they overcome?

Key challenges included limited monitors and equipment, the need for trained personnel, and coordination across facilities. We established a PACS-based telemedicine system with trained community health workers supported by Harvard and Stanford ophthalmologists, created dedicated screening days, and expanded to multiple sites with ongoing NGO support to cover costs and logistics.

#029 - Scaling Newborn Care in Ghana: Telemedicine, Caffeine, and the Power of Collaboration

Q: Could you walk us through how caffeine citrate was introduced and what the national process looked like?

The process involved collaboration between the Ghana Health Service, the Ministry of Health, CHI, and external partners. A technical working group drafted National Guidelines on Apnea of Prematurity, CHI donated caffeine citrate to start the program, and regions were trained under a trainer-of-trainers model. The aim is to have caffeine citrate included in standard treatment guidelines and emergencies drug lists so NHIS can cover it.

#026 - How a Parent Charity Transformed Neonatal Care in Barbados

Q: How did the charity begin and evolve into a formal organization?

It started as the Neonatal Intensive Parent Club born from the need to educate and support overwhelmed parents; over time, it expanded into a formal charity with governance, fundraising, and ongoing involvement from families and nurses.

#028 - Family Systems Care: An example from Hohoe, Ghana (ft. Christina Schuler, Jessica Honya-Tsiewu, and George Edward Ntow)

Q: What makes family systems care different from family-centered care, and why is it important in this context?

Family systems care expands beyond involving the family in general care to a structured, systemic approach that includes six foundations like systems theory and communication, enabling healthcare providers to assess family dynamics and plan interventions that leverage family strengths for better patient outcomes.
