"Any baby born before 37 weeks of gestation is said to be preterm born. The intensity the baby requires would all depend at what age the baby is born and with what weight the baby is born. Most babies born would require an intensive care, but why a preterm care is important? Globally WHO says that 15 million births happen as preterm births. India happens to major contributor to that number. Neonatal mortality, preterm births and deaths because of preterm births happen to be a major cause of infant mortality. So we need to work to getting these numbers low. Where should these babies deliver? Immediate care of these preterm born babies would determine the long term outcome of the baby. When we say long term outcome it is not only living, but it is also living a good quality of life. So any institute which has a neonatal intensive care support what a full time neonatologist with a need of available of a presence of ventilator and gadgets needed to sustain the immediate life, as we call as an incubator to maintain the temperature of the baby, that should be a probable chosen place for the baby to be born we would prefer an inutero transfer of the baby rather than an outborn baby. Why that is important? The mother is the best incubator that we can ever have. Transferring the baby in an artificial incubator from an outside born is found to have a long lasting adverse effect. So if possible, if the immediate delivery can be prevented then the mother should be transferred to a place where NICU care can be available under one roof"
