Babies born at 24 weeks of pregnancy or earlier are extremely preterm.

When babies are born this early, their heart, lungs, brain and other organs haven't fully developed.

Mater's Deputy Director of Neonatology, Dr Luke Jardine, joins us on sMater to explain more about the intricacies of caring for an extremely premature baby, and share his insights from inside Mater Mothers’ Hospitals’ Neonatal Critical Care Unit.
