Great to join you all and congrats on the progress already being made to achieve a 20% reduction in preterm birth by 2024 - that would mean 5000 more babies carried to full term with all the health benefits that delivers. #everyweekcounts – at Melbourne, Victoria

Pregnant women who struggle to quit smoking should know that there are a range of aids that can help them quit, including pharmacotherapies. Important to quit for reducing risk of #pretermbirth and #stillbirth. @PretermAlliance @CREStillbirth
