La interdisciplinaridad en el cuidado neonatal en Latinoamérica: experiencia de una sociedad científica

Interdisciplinary teamwork is essential, not only in the care of newborns and their families but also in the health work team itself, in order to offer comprehensive, humane and non-fragmented care and assistance. It is imperative to explore how such care has been carried out in the Latin American region. This article deals with four aspects: first, a contextualization on interdisciplinarity; second, the experience in the formation of an interdisciplinary group within a scientific society; third, the results of a survey on interdisciplinarity in neonatal care in Latin America and, finally, some recommendations to promote interdisciplinarity in neonatal intensive care units in Latin America.
