Mañana es el día mundial del prematuro; un problema de salud mundial que representa la principal causa de morbilidad - mortalidad perinatal, la FIGO reconoce como punto de buena práctica la atención preconcepcional como una estrategia que ayuda a identificar y tratar problemas antes de la gestación, es responsabilidad de las parejas planificar sus embarazos de forma responsable y eso incluye hacer chequeos previos al embarazo; controlar enfermedades crónicas pre existentes, tratar infecciones y prevenir malformaciones con suplementos como el ácido fólico.

Preterm birth (PTB) remains one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality and long-term morbidity worldwide, with minimal progress being made in reducing its incidence, particularly in low-resource settings. Preconception care is recognised as an effective strategy for PTB prevention; however, the fact that more than half of pregnancies globally are unplanned significantly limits opportunities for successful intervention.
The latest FIGO Good Practice Recommendations call for a shift from pregnancy-centered to woman-centered care, integrating baby-centered assessments into preconception care. The review underscores that improving preterm birth outcomes begins well before pregnancy, through evidence-based preconception interventions and strong policy and advocacy initiatives that promote equitable access to care for every woman, everywhere.
