The reality of premature babies and critically ill newborns in India
In India, the situation for critically ill newborns and infants is dire, marked by a staggering mortality rate largely due to limited access to timely and advanced medical care. According to Macrotrends, the infant mortality rate is projected to be 25.799 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2024. Alarmingly, nearly 40% of fatalities in children under 5 stem from neonatal complications, including premature births, birth trauma, infections, and congenital issues (World Health Organisation).
The challenges are immense. Many infants urgently require life-saving interventions, yet they face significant obstacles, primarily due to soaring medical expenses and a lack of access to quality healthcare. Their families often find it impossible to bear the high costs associated with critical treatments, such as NICU stays, surgeries, and other essential procedures. Milaap’s Baby Critical Care Fund is dedicated to providing assistance for funding critical NICU care for premature and critically ill newborns.
