In a significant move to raise awareness about prematurity and its challenges, the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) held a durbar for healthcare professionals across the Northern Region. The event, organized as part of activities to commemorate the 2024 Prematurity Awareness Month, brought together medical personnel, stakeholders, and experts to discuss pressing issues surrounding neonatal care.
Dr. (Med) Dominic Bagbio, a Specialist Paediatrician at TTH, during a presentation highlighted the increasing cases of preterm births in the region. He noted that prematurity has become one of the leading causes of admission in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). According to Dr. Bagbio, the rising trend of premature births requires immediate action to improve outcomes for new-borns.
"The number of preterm births is on the rise, and this calls for collective efforts to address the situation," Dr. Bagbio emphasized. He pointed out critical challenges in managing preterm babies, including limited space and a shortage of essential equipment in the NICU. These constraints, he said, hinder the effective management of prematurity at the facility.
The durbar served as a platform for healthcare professionals to exchange ideas, share experiences, and discuss strategies to enhance neonatal care services. It also aimed to foster collaboration among hospitals in the Northern Region to better manage the increasing cases of premature births and improve overall neonatal health outcomes.
The commemoration of Prematurity Awareness Month underscores the need for continuous education and investment in healthcare infrastructure to support premature infants and their families. As part of the event, participants were encouraged to advocate for better resources, training, and policies to address the challenges faced in neonatal care.
The durbar is part of a series of activities planned throughout November to highlight the importance of addressing prematurity and its impact on maternal and child health in the region.
