What is World Prematurity Day?
World Prematurity Day on November 17 raises awareness of babies born too early, before 37 weeks of pregnancy. About one in ten babies worldwide is born preterm, and complications of preterm birth are the leading cause of death in children under five. The day was started in 2008 by parent organisations in Europe, and hospitals and families mark it with purple lights, stories from neonatal units and calls for better care.
