Rise in premature births prompts national push
Washington AP reports one in eight babies are born premature, more than half a million yearly, with late preemies rising. Acting Surgeon General Steven Galson opens a two day conference to develop a national strategy, while the March of Dimes warns two to three weeks can change brain development and risk of later problems. Researchers tie late preemies' rise largely to Caesarean sections, underscoring need for public awareness and risk reduction.
