A woman named Mihaela gave birth to her premature baby, Cassia, after multiple failed IVF attempts due to endometriosis and cervical insufficiency. In Romania, while organizations like Save the Children have invested in neonatal care, national data on premature infant survival is limited. In Spain, 21,322 babies were born prematurely in 2023, representing 6.6% of all births. Spanish experts note high survival rates for prematurity, especially for those born at or after 28 weeks, and highlight that the country possesses some of the best technological resources globally. However, improvements are needed in neonatal transport systems across all regions, early intervention units, and specialized training like the ACE program. Furthermore, there is a recognized need to enhance psychological support for parents of premature infants.
