Expectant mothers have been urged to attend all their antenatal clinics to prevent preterm births

Paediatricians are urging expectant mothers to attend all their antenatal clinic appointments to help prevent preterm births. Regular antenatal visits can help avoid issues such as anaemia, hypertension, and membrane rupture, which are common causes of preterm births. There are ongoing calls for every health facility in the country to be fully equipped to handle preterm births.
