Episode 172: The SCC Pod - Premature Babies with Dr. Ana Mayen
Episode 172
Thursday, 19 February, 2026
Dr. Ana Mayen, a Salvadoran neonatologist, talks about her experience caring for preterm babies in El Salvador. She is a major member of our SCC team at the Casa de Vida, the residence for young pregnant teens in El Salvador. Since pregnant teens are a high risk group for preterm births as well as other complications, her experience and knowledge has been extremely important to us.Dra. Mayen is a Salvadorean pediatric neonatologist currently working at the Instituto Salvadoreño del Seguro Social to create preventive programs in childhood, through neonatal screening tools, to the follow up and care of affected children. Dra Ana is the perfect person to begin this podcast series because she is passionate about babies and especially premature babies. She has had years of experience working with newborns. She has studied and lectured on neonatal palliative care. She is my close colleague, and friend, in El Salvador and was the first Salvadoran colleague who really connected with me in the goal of supporting healthy births and early childhood in El Salvador.
