Lead by Aras’ Founder and Executive Director, Dr. Miheret Yitayew, the Team joined five UOG pediatricians and nurses. The first Tiny Feet Big Steps conference held outside of Tanzania, attended by 147 physicians and nurses, provided a critical venue for multidisciplinary training aimed at improving neonatal outcomes, bringing critical knowledge and skills closer to where they are most needed.

The conference brought together experts, clinicians, and healthcare teams from across the country to share best practices, evidence-based approaches, and innovations in neonatal care. By participating, Aras Newborn Care Ethiopia and UOG reinforced together their commitment to strengthen their collaboration, building capacity and advancing the quality of newborn care in Ethiopia.
