Honoring World Prematurity Day

Premature infants are at greater risk and require specialized care by a highly skilled team of healthcare professionals. Survival rates for newborns can be improved through training in neonatal resuscitation and by being prepared to respond to these critical events. 

1 out of every 10 babies is born preterm.¹

15 million babies are born prematurely every year.² 

Preterm birth complications are the leading cause of death among children under 5 years of age. ³
