A fight for survival from the very start: Babies born far too soon. The long-term effects of premature births are often be underestimated. Born three months prematurely and weighing just 800 grams, Amina’s start in life could hardly have been more dramatic. She is now in the intensive care unit of a German clinic. Her mother is with her as often as possible. Thanks to modern medicine, extremely premature babies like Amina have a chance of survival. But the long-term consequences are often underestimated. There are around 13 million premature births worldwide every year. Parents are calling for more information about the late effects of premature birth and hope for a growing understanding for those affected. #DWstories 00:00 Intro 01:13 Three Months Premature: Amina in the ICU 03:04 What Is a Preemie? 03:27 Lukas Mader – Being a Preemie is for Life 06:52 Longer-Term Effects of Premature Birth 08:23 There’s a Problem with Amina in the Hospital 09:42 Diego, the Extreme Preemie 13:27 University Instead of Vocational Rehabilitation 16:40 Global Support for Preemies 17:52 A Milestone for Amina #documentary #dwdocumentary #reporter ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
