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.
