Access to Care Determines Outcomes
Not all hospitals are prepared to treat extremely premature babies, leading to varying outcomes based on the facility's capabilities. In a specific instance, a mother was initially told her 22-week-old baby could not be saved at one hospital, but when she sought care at a connected birthing center, immediate treatment was provided. This decisive action led to the baby thriving and surpassing developmental milestones, emphasizing the critical role that access to appropriate care plays in survival and health outcomes for premature infants.
