Every year, around 15 million babies are born preterm, that is to say that they are born before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. Complications of preterm births are the leading cause of death amongst children under five years of age. Without appropriate treatment, those who survive often face lifelong disability and poor quality of life. In an effort to improve preterm birth outcomes, WHO has published new recommendations for managing preterm births that are designed to save lives and improve the health of preterm infants.
