Comment on low birth weight infants and preterm babies

Disparities related to ethnic and cultural groups can be a big blow and affect low birth weight infants and preterm babies in matters relating to health. Ethnic groups which do not have English as the first language have a lot of problems in utilizing some medical resources. Failures to use these medical resources are likely to lead to medical complication from lack of prenatal care and education that is offered in the medical facilities

Many impacts are likely to face a family where an infant has been born prematurely or has a low birth rate. Apparently, the social, economic impact is one of the effects of preterm infants as it is very costly to treat an infant with that. It is estimated on average that a preterm born infant is likely to cost the family 51600USD (Patel et al. 2015). Moreover, there are also indirect costs such as loss of income during the period the child is undergoing treatment which is not included in the figure due to the difference in income of different families. Comorbidities associated with prematurity include the development of lung diseases which serve as a long-term effect of premature birth.

The service adequately serves the need of this people as it can come up with final suggestion and discuss the best methods to use to ensure proper services to the infants and the family.
