Education, Organisation & Evaluation

The WHO has published international recommendations to improve the outcomes of preterm birth. I got to know about this document about a year ago while attending a Preterm Epidemology working group meeting hosted by the WHO. Given the fact that preterm birth is the most important risk factor for infant mortality world-wide, I think this document will be very important, especially for preterm babies born in low-resource settings.

hi .. i dont know if iam in the right place to post my questions .. my friends .. whenever i come across a critical baby ,and with limitted facility , i feel sad that a lot of babies in my country died without knowing what was the cause ! working in neonate in libya (third world ) is a bit difficult , its annoying to face problems daily with no tools to stand up against them. here : frequently , we are presuming diseases rather than diagnosing them. for example : RDS with no improvment after surfactant , and with no echo technology , we presume PPHN as the main culprit and starting mg-sulphate is the next step (most of the time ). i want to ask : have any one b…
