Le pessaire dans la prévention de la prématurité spontanée en pays en voie de développement (Haiti)

Every year, more than one million of an estimated 15 million babies born preterm die from preterm-related complications, and many that do survive face life-long disabilities or health complications. A pessary (silicone ring) placed around the cervix (during the second part of the pregnancy) in high-risk mothers may help prevent prematurity. This project’s goal is to adapt to resource-low countries, validate and then disseminate this technique. For more information visit http://www.crc.chus.qc.ca/.
