In the second part of our interview series, we meet Veronica Hermansson, a specialist physiotherapist at the Pediatric Clinic at Södra Älvsborgs Hospital in Borås. Her insights sheds light on the long-term challenges faced by preterm born babies, whose immature brains make them especially vulnerable to neurodevelopmental issues.

This follows our first conversation with Linda Nilsson, an intensive care nurse at Skåne University Hospital in Lund, who emphasized the critical importance of early detection and continuous monitoring in the acute phase of neonatal care.

Together, their perspectives illustrate the complexity of neonatal care, from intensive care in the first hours of life to long-term developmental support, and the need for a comprehensive, lifelong approach for this vulnerable patient group.
