Why does preventing early birth matter to you?

"As an Obstetrician working in the Northern Territory (NT), I see the devastating effects of babies born too early far too often. The preterm birth rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander babies in the NT is almost DOUBLE that of the non-Aboriginal population at over 14%. This equates to too many mothers walking out of hospital without their babies in their arms and too many babies starting life already at a disadvantage. If we are going to be serious about closing the gap in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, then preterm birth prevention is the best place to start.​"
The Australian Preterm Birth Prevention Alliance is working to safely lower the rate of early birth across Australia.
