New medical guidelines released to improve health outcomes of premature babies

They were born very preterm which means before 32 weeks gestation.“It was very sudden, and it was quite a shock. I didn't see my boys until the following day. When I arrived, I was really overwhelmed by the medical intervention that my boys needed to help them in these very, very early stages of their life. And both of them needed really significant help and intervention with their breathing.

Although not all babies will encounter these issues, many parents are concerned about the long-term health outcomes for their children. The guidelines will address care gaps by directing every family with a very preterm infant to a coordinated, multidisciplinary team to ensure health risks are detected and treated early.

"It’s a lot, and I'm just so glad that there’s going to be a standard guideline that are going to be in place now so that all the parents after us can just have like, even just walk out of the hospital feeling like they've got something to support them. Because you do spend a lot of time in NICU ].
