Meet Keynote Speaker Dr. Alex Stevenson — COINN Zambia 2025

We are excited to announce Dr. Alex Stevenson as a keynote speaker for COINN Zambia 2025, the premier international conference for neonatal nurses and newborn health advocates.

Dr. Stevenson is a Zimbabwean neonatologist based in Harare, with medical training from both Cape Town and Zimbabwe. He currently serves as Founder and President of the African Neonatal Association and is a Principal Investigator for the African Neonatal Network—a key figure in strengthening neonatal care across the continent.

His research focuses on:

• Neonatal databases

• Quality improvement in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)

• Understanding why different neonatal units produce different outcomes

With clinical experience in both well-resourced private hospitals and less-resourced public hospitals in Harare, Dr. Stevenson brings a grounded and multifaceted perspective to neonatal care.

His keynote will explore the realities of delivering high-quality newborn care in diverse healthcare settings, offering crucial insights for both practitioners and policymakers working to improve care for newborns.

Join us in Lusaka this August to hear him speak on innovation, leadership, and improving neonatal outcomes in Africa.
