Mumbai hospitals' 5-step plan to give tiniest tots survival chance

Mumbai's public hospitals have a high survivor rate for sickly newborns and extremely premature babies, with rates reaching 90%. These hospitals provide necessary equipment, such as warmers and pulmonary surfactant, as well as round-the-clock care from nurses and doctors. Private hospitals, with more advanced machinery and specialized care, also have high survival rates for extremely preterm babies. However, government hospitals in rural areas often lack adequate resources and staff.
