The Thai Neonatal Registry (ThaiNy) is a national initiative established in 2019 by the Thai Neonatal Society to improve the quality of newborn care throughout Thailand. ThaiNy provides a secure, unified, and standardized system for collecting clinical data from hospitals nationwide, helping clinicians and policymakers monitor outcomes, identify gaps, and guide evidence-based improvements.

ThaiNy began with data collection for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants and infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), both recognized as indicators of neonatal care quality. As participation expanded, the registry grew to include sick newborns and normal newborns, providing a more comprehensive understanding of neonatal health across the country. Today, more than fifty hospitals contribute thousands of records, supporting detailed analyses of survival rates, major morbidities, and variations in care performance.

A key feature of ThaiNy is its anonymous benchmarking, which allows each hospital to compare its outcomes with national averages while keeping the identities of other institutions confidential. Annual validated analyses, such as survival and rates of BPD, NEC, IVH, ROP, and infections, help hospitals refine clinical practices and support strategic planning.

ThaiNy also contributes to regional advancement through participation in AsianNeo, the Asian Neonatal Network Collaboration. AsianNeo connects national neonatal networks across Asia to share data, compare practices, conduct joint research, and improve outcomes for small or sick newborns across the region. With growing national engagement and international collaboration, ThaiNy continues to play a vital role in ensuring that all newborns in Thailand receive high-quality, equitable, and evidence-based care.
