Dr. Jyothi Prabhakar, a leading Senior Consultant Neonatologist at KIMSHEALTH, emphasizes the critical role of neonatal care in the survival and long-term outcomes of preterm babies. The birth of a preterm baby can be a difficult and emotional time, but with advancements in neonatology, these babies can be saved even at extremely early gestational ages. However, optimal care is required from the outset, with a focus on providing a good start, structured long-term care, and intensive care. With this approach, preterm babies can develop well outside the mother's womb and achieve better neurodevelopmental outcomes.
