An efficient and rational neonatal intensive care should be regionalized. Interdepartmental communication among obstetricians, neonatologists, pediatricians, neurologists should be planned and stirred between the reference centre and the outside hospitals, as well as in the catchment area. In this way only, such important goals as in-utero and neonatal transfer, training of obstetric neonatal teams, regionalized epidemiology and care evaluation can be achieved. In the same way, communication inside the hospital among doctors, nurses and parents is basic to humanize medical care.
