The landscape of neonatal intensive care is changing as an increasing number of medical institutions transition to a family-centered model. This approach encourages parents to be integral members of the care team, providing support and comfort to their infants during vulnerable periods. The new model not only represents a shift in how neonatal care is delivered but also acknowledges the essential role of parental presence in the recovery journey of premature or critically ill infants.

The transformation in neonatal care is facilitated by advanced medical technologies that enable constant monitoring of infants' health without sacrificing the comfort of familial closeness. At the Kaunas Clinics of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, the newly implemented central monitoring system allows healthcare professionals to track the health indicators of newborns remotely, enabling them to spend critical time alongside their parents. This innovation reassures both caregivers and parents, ensuring that the highest standards of medical attention are maintained while fostering an emotionally supportive environment for the family.

Organizations such as the "Neišnešiotukas" association for premature newborns, the "Auginu Lietuvą" initiative, and the company "Cencora" have contributed by providing essential equipment to enhance this model of care. Their efforts have already proven beneficial for numerous premature infants, underscoring the collaborative effort between medical professionals and family members in the healing process and changing how neonatal care practices are approached across Lithuania.
