World Prematurity Day is observed each year on 17th November worldwide to raise awareness regarding the impact of premature birth on babies and their families and that how timely neonatal care can reduce the burden of deaths and disabilities among preterm infants.
Preterm birth is one of the leading causes of child deaths under the age of 5, as almost 15 million babies in the world are born prematurely – more than one in ten of all babies around the world and nearly 1 million die due to related complications (UNICEF).
