In Romania, over 11,000 premature babies were born last year, with increasing cases due to delayed motherhood and complications. Parents often travel long distances to visit their hospitalized infants, facing emotional challenges. The survival of these babies relies heavily on specialized care, as many require extended hospital stays. Factors contributing to premature births include advanced maternal age and inadequate prenatal monitoring. The trend of declining births continues, with 2025 marking the lowest number in a century.
