Preterm Nutrition Academy
Over 10% of babies worldwide are born prematurely, with increasing rates in both developed and developing countries. Preterm infants face developmental immaturity that affects various organs and systems, potentially leading to long-term health issues. They have unique physiological characteristics that create specific nutritional requirements. Therefore, adequate nutrition is essential for their growth and development.
The Preterm Nutrition Academy is committed to offering practical resources to assist healthcare professionals in the complex area of feeding preterm infants.
