In particular, the survival rate of infants under 1,000g has increased from 58% to 85%. Many infants born at 23-25 weeks of gestation have been successfully treated and grow up healthy, without neurological or motor sequelae. Thanks to these achievements, the overall neonatal mortality rate at the hospital has dropped to below 5%.
