The discharge from hospital of a child born prematurely is a pivotal moment in their journey. Discharge is prepared from the moment of admission through a close and ongoing partnership with the parents. Neonatal home care facilitates this transition. The organization of subsequent follow-up care must be individualized according to the needs of the child and their family, as well as the availibility of specialized professional resources close to home.
