'We have to do more': physicians seek to reduce preterm birth rate.
Physicians are working to reduce preterm birth and its devastating consequences. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists calls the prevention of preterm births, including late preterm deliveries, a public health priority. TMA's House of Delegates adopted a recommendation in 2009 to support the prevention of iatrogenic prematurity (caused by deliberately delivering a baby early) by physicians and others who attend at the delivery of infants.
