Abstract

The improvement in perinatal care has led to increase in survival as well as reduction of morbidity in sick newborns. These babies need to be followed up regularly to assess growth and neurodevelopmental outcome and for early stimulation and rehabilitation. We present a protocol describing the various components of a follow up program, and services.
