Scotch Plains, NJ – November 2016 An estimated 15 million babies around the world are born premature each year and more than one million of them do not survive their early birth. Although the United States has seen continuous improvement in its preterm birth rate, it has one of the highest rates of preterm birth of any industrialized country. Premature (also known as preterm) birth is when a baby is born too early, before 37 weeks of pregnancy have been completed. The earlier a baby is born, the higher the risk of death or serious disability. Babies who survive can have breathing issues, intestinal (digestive) issues and bleeding in their brains.

Organizations and individuals around the globe will observe Prematurity Awareness Month and World Prematurity Read the full article →
