About Professor Nadia Badawi AM
Professor Nadia Badawi AM, Co-Head of The Grace Centre for Newborn Intensive Care at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. Professor Badawi has worked with critically ill babies and their families for more than 20 years and has committed her career to changing the narrative both for the families and the women she works with.
“In The Grace Centre for Newborn Intensive Care we are working with sicker and smaller babies than ever before. These are babies who have congenital heart disease, who need major surgery and who have complex medical conditions - and yet survival is increasing and disability is decreasing."
"I am fortunate to be surrounded by a smart, dedicated and caring team of nurses and allied health professionals who all want to do the best by sick babies and their families and I am supported by my own family and friends who believe in the importance of the work I do. The value of this cannot be underestimated."
