Introduction
ANT: CNT (Association of Neonatal Therapists : Certified Neonatal Therapist
Constitution: A Distinct Identity
Association of Neonatal Therapists (ANT) knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives.
Back in 2017, our Non-Profit Organization realized that by working together we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch Association of Neonatal Therapists (ANT).
As per the constitution of ANT, submitted to regulatory bodies, we will be conducting Certification examination.
The purpose of the conducting certification examination is to
enhance the professional standard,
to ensure safety and utmost care for every Newborn.
The aim is to bring about uniformity in the neonatal therapy services received by clients in our country.
