Question 15113 — health

Summary

Mr. Emmanuel Mandon alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities, to the situation of prematurity, the leading cause of infant mortality in France. He recalls that every year, 50,000 children are born prematurely in the country. Particularly vulnerable, they require highly specialized care from their first breath and long-term medical and medico-social support. to deal with complications. These first months after childbirth represent a sensitive period for the child's development but can also have damaging consequences throughout their adult life. It thus appears that the infant mortality rate has continued to increase in the country for several years, increasing since 2020 from 3.6 to 4.1 deaths per thousand births in 2024, according to an INSEE study. A report from the Court of Auditors highlighted significant perinatal risks with significant territorial and social inequalities. Despite the financial resources committed, the actions taken did not make it possible to improve the safety and quality of care. Prevention measures are insufficient. The lack of coordination among health professionals makes it impossible to support parents properly. A recent conference organized by SOS Préma and the French Society of Neonatology “What place for the newborn in France in 2026? » called for “adapted, concrete and sustainable responses”. Sharing the emotion of the affected families, he asks her if she intends to take measures to quickly remedy the causes of humanly unacceptable situations, in particular by drawing on the recommendations of the Court of Auditors.
