[Post-hospital support for families: current situation and outlook]

Abstract

After neonatal hospitalization, our healthcare system offers multidisciplinary care for premature babies and their families during the first years of life. However, there are disparities and gaps, particularly in the case of medium prematurity. Maternal and child protection, a major player in early prevention and family follow-up, is a partner likely to be able to deploy post-hospital support perspectives in favor of child development and parenting support.
