Why is the rate of premature births so high in this community ?

In the Pakistani fishing settlement of Rehri Goth, approximately 25 percent of infants are born prematurely. This high incidence of preterm births has prompted researchers to investigate the underlying causes and develop interventions to reduce the rate of early deliveries in the community.

Public health experts are currently working to identify the specific factors contributing to these health outcomes. The ongoing research aims to address the significant disparity in birth statistics within this specific population and establish strategies to improve maternal and neonatal health.
