PPC Limited Hosts Transformative Webinar on Advancing Neonatal Care

Neonatal mortality remains a serious concern in Nigeria, where limited access to life-saving equipment, insufficient training, and fragmented healthcare systems continue to hinder progress in newborn health outcomes.

In response to these persistent challenges, PPC Limited is convening a webinar titled “Advancing Neonatal Care” on May 21, 2025, at 11:00 AM, bringing together experts and stakeholders committed to transforming neonatal healthcare through innovation and collaboration.

PPC Limited, formerly Philips Projects Centre and Nigeria’s leading engineering and infrastructure development company with a strong presence in the healthcare sector, is using this platform to spark important dialogue among healthcare professionals, technology experts, and caregivers. The online session aims to explore practical strategies, share real-world experiences, and present advancements in neonatal care that can significantly improve survival rates and health outcomes for newborns.

The webinar will feature notable facilitators, including Dr. Chukwunonso Izechukwu, Assistant General Manager of the Healthcare Division at PPC; Mohamed Salah, Regional Product Manager at COMEN; and Dr. Ayodeji Akinola, Consultant Paediatrician at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH). Together, they will examine emerging technologies and care models that can bridge gaps in the current system and promote sustainable solutions for neonatal care.

Speaking ahead of the event, Dr. Emmanuel Iyere, Head of Diagnostics at BT Health & Diagnostics Centre, a subsidiary of PPC Limited, emphasised the importance of collective action in addressing neonatal health challenges. “This webinar is not just an opportunity to learn; it’s a call to action. Improving neonatal outcomes requires consistent investment in training, technology, and policy reform. At PPC, we believe in creating platforms where ideas and solutions converge to drive real impact. Every healthcare professional who attends has the power to influence positive change in neonatal health,” Dr. Iyere stated.

The webinar is free and open to healthcare professionals and stakeholders who are passionate about improving neonatal outcomes in Nigeria and beyond. Early registration is encouraged. Once registered, participants will receive a confirmation email with details on how to join the session.
