🌎💜 World Prematurity Day 🌎💜
This year the Northern Regional Hospital observed World Prematurity Day under the theme "Give preterm babies a strong start for a hopeful future". Globally it is estimated that 1 out of 10 babies are born premature (before 37 weeks of gestation). In Orange Walk District it was estimated that 41 babies were born premature during the year 2024. The objective of this initiative is to raise awareness about premature birth, to support families on their journey, and honor the healthcare team's dedication to give every premature baby the best possible start in life.

By spreading understanding, promoting early care, and advocating for improved neonatal services, we work together toward healthier beginnings for our tiniest fighters.

💜Together we can make a difference!💜

Parent Alert: Health Hazards of Gummies for Children

Dear Parents,

We would like to remind you to be cautious about the growing concern regarding gummies that are being consumed by children. While many gummies appear harmless and are marketed as candies or vitamins, some can pose serious health risks.

Certain gummies, especially those not purchased from trusted sources, may contain harmful substances such as THC (from ma*****na) or other unregulated ingredients that can affect a child’s brain development, behavior, and overall health. Even regular sweet gummies, when consumed excessively, can lead to tooth decay, obesity, and digestive problems.

Please ensure that:

Gummies are kept out of children’s reach.

Only verified and approved vitamin gummies are given, and always under supervision.

You talk to your children about the dangers of taking food, sweets, or gummies from friends or strangers.

Let’s work together to keep our children safe, healthy, and drug-free.

In times of crisis or everyday struggles, mental health matters. This video, created by high school students, reminds us that it’s okay to not be okay and that reaching out for help is a brave step.

Access to services means ensuring support is available for everyone, especially during catastrophes and emergencies.
Let’s talk, listen, and support because Mental Health Matters.

A big congratulations to Orange Walk Technical High School for winning the video competition.
