According to Dr. Adesola, World Prematurity Day is an opportunity to advocate for every parents’ right to unrestricted access to their babies in the hospital, no matter where and when.

Dr. Adesola said: “The commemoration also affords all the opportunity to celebrate our babies, the health workers, and mothers.

“Prior to this time, we had a low survival rate of preterm babies in Epe GH but from the moment the Mother and Child facility was provided, we have had a very high rate of survival because we now have better equipment to handle preterm cases. We really appreciate the State government for making it possible”.

Also Speaking, the Head of Pediatrics Department at the Hospital, Dr. Busayo Babatunde said: “The government has a major role in the continued survival of preterm birth by providing good road network, adequate security, more health workers and facilities needed to care for the babies”.

Dr. Babatunde noted that although the survival of preterm babies worldwide is still very low, there has been a huge increase in survival rate due to the improvement in the way the babies are cared for after discharge from hospital. Jamb Result
