Welcome to the Preterm Birth International Collaborative

The Preterm Birth International Collaborative (PREBIC) Inc. is a not for profit organisation working to find ways of identifying women who have an increased risk of delivering too early, understanding the underlying mechanisms and developing ways to prevent preterm birth.

Every year, approximately 15 million babies are born prematurely; this is more than one in ten of all babies born around the world. Deaths in the first months of life account for 40 per cent of all deaths amongst children less than five years of age. Preterm birth is the leading cause of death in the first weeks of life, and is associated with up to 75 per cent of childhood health problems such as cerebral palsy, deafness and blindness, developmental delays and learning difficulties. If you are a student and you need to explore this topic more broadly with attached static data, results of sociological surveys, and as much theoretical information as possible collected on relevant resources, then take advantage of the opportunity to buy analytical essay.

PREBIC is a multinational collaborative of clinicians and research scientists who aim to improve pregnancy and birth outcomes, optimising infant health and long term development. PREBIC’s preterm birth prevention programmes include workshops for scientists, clinicians and other health care professionals, development and coordination of research expertise nodes and the organisation of annual scientific meetings.

PREBIC's mission is to advance understanding of the scientific foundations of preterm birth through global networking in order to improve pregnancy and birth outcomes.
