Abstract

Preterm babies are those born alive before 37 weeks of pregnancy are completed. The global figure for babies born early was 13.4 million in 2020. But statistics on preterm babies in African countries are poor. Obasanjo Bolarinwa and Kobi Ajayi, who research and teach public health and global healthcare management issues, unpack their research from Kenya.
