Saving baby Rourou: case highlights challenges of premature births

China Daily  

A nurse takes care of a premature baby in an incubator at a hospital in Ji'an, Jiangxi province, on Jan 17, 2023. Born at 21 weeks and four days, about half of a 40-week pregnancy, the baby is the youngest child saved in China, and only three days older than the record for such a birth. Each year, in neighboring Hong Kong there are about 4,000 premature births, including 120 babies born before 28 weeks. The Shenzhen Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital has saved over half of the nearly 200 infants born under 28 weeks each year, and consistently sets records for the survival rate of extremely premature babies. Despite the medical breakthroughs, families with surviving premature babies still face challenges including ongoing health risks and caregiving, as well as trying to ensure their child keeps up with his or her peers.
