Natalie Chan, MD

I am interested in learning how we can protect the vulnerable developing brain and improve neurodevelopmental outcomes, especially in the most fragile babies. I am also passionate about global neonatal health and scaling up innovative solutions to reduce neonatal mortality and help children everywhere live to their fullest potential.
