Did you know that 1 in 10 babies is born prematurely?

World Prematurity Day has been recognised since 2011 to acknowledge the journeys of preterm infants and their families, as well as raise awareness of the challenges faced by children born preterm and their families.

The HSA provides a specialised NICU facility and services for premature and other high-risk infants and can accommodate six infants at a time.
