Why does preventing early birth matter to you?
"Early birth can have potentially devastating and long-term consequences, with a greater burden for some families. Preterm birth is increasing in many places, indicating that we need to change our thinking - and our actions - in pregnancy care. By working together as an Alliance we have a much greater chance of reducing preterm birth and improving the quality of life for those born too early."
The Australian Preterm Birth Prevention Alliance is working to safely lower the rate of early birth across Australia.
