PREMATURITY DAY CELEBRATION

Job Shimankana Tabane Hospital celebrated World Prematurity Day on 17 November 2025 under the theme: "Give preterm babies a strong start for a brighter future".

A premature is a baby born before 37 weeks of pregnancy are completed.

These babies often require special care due to health complications, such as problems with breathing, temperature regulation, feeding difficulties often requiring tube feeding initially, increased risk of jaundice, immature immune systems that make them more susceptible to infections, and neurological issues, such as bleeding in the brain

Possible causes of premature birth include: maternal health problems like diabetes or high blood pressure, infections, multiple births, or issues with the placenta.

Most babies who are premature are born between 32 and 36 weeks of gestation, and almost all of these babies grow up to be healthy children. Sadly, some babies die as a result of being born too early because their organs are too immature to function properly outside the womb.

What these babies require is Breastmilk, and supplements to help babies grow faster, Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is vital to help babies regulate temperature, bonding, growth, and encourages breastfeeding on demand.

Growth, monitoring and promotion is vital for these babies and correcting the babie's Gestational age for correct plotting
