One doctor/physician nomination and one nurse nomination can be submitted from one email address.
The 10 physicians and 10 nurses with the most nominations will advance to the second, voting round. Voting will take place from 15 September to 31 October 2024. The gala evening with the Purple Heart Awards will take place on 14 November 2024 at the Žofín Palace in Prague.
The Purple Heart is a globally recognized symbol and award for wounds in combat. Originally it was only for soldiers, but later it was also awarded to personalities who have made a significant contribution to the care of premature babies. In the Czech Republic, the Purple Hearts have been awarded since 2010 in the categories of the Czech Neonatology Society Award, the Neonatology Section Award of the Czech Nurses Association, the Public Personality Award and the Nedoklubka Award. Since 2023, the Purple Heart Parents' Award for doctors and nurses in the field of neonatology has been added.
