The arrival of a baby is a momentous occasion. However, when a baby arrives earlier than expected, it can be a time of worry and uncertainty. Premature birth, defined as birth before 37 weeks of pregnancy, affects millions of babies worldwide. At Nice Hospital, our team of dedicated professionals is here to provide comprehensive care for premature babies, helping them thrive.
