Premature birth remains one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, requiring specialized medical care and long-term developmental support. Advances in prenatal care, neonatal interventions, and evidence-based clinical management have significantly improved survival and quality of life for preterm infants. This session addresses current challenges and innovations in the care of premature newborns.
Scientific discussions will include antenatal corticosteroid therapy, neonatal respiratory support, nutritional management, neurodevelopmental follow-up, infection prevention, family-centered care, and strategies to reduce complications associated with prematurity. Experts will also examine advances in neonatal technology, developmental care practices, and long-term health outcomes for preterm infants.
This session offers healthcare professionals an opportunity to learn from leading specialists, discuss complex clinical cases, and explore multidisciplinary approaches that support optimal growth, development, and survival of premature infants in both hospital and community settings.
