Preterm Birth Initiative

The Preterm Birth Initiative is a program focused on reducing the number of babies born too early, before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Preterm birth can lead to health problems for newborns and long-term challenges. The initiative aims to understand the causes of preterm birth, improve medical care, and develop strategies to prevent it. By working with healthcare providers, researchers, and communities, the goal is to ensure healthier pregnancies and better outcomes for babies and families. It emphasizes early intervention, education, and access to quality prenatal care to address this important health issue.
