Show your support for World Prematurity Day and join the fight to help premature babies with donations, volunteering, or raising awareness!
Get ready to celebrate World Prematurity Day on November 17! This day was created in 2008 by the March of Dimes and Euro-NICU, an organization dedicated to improving neonatal care for premature babies. It's a special occasion that helps raise awareness about preterm birth and celebrates the courage of families affected by it. On this day, we honor all those battling prematurity as well as their caregivers who provide them with love, support, and hope.
Host an event or join a march to raise awareness of preterm births and the struggles faced by premature babies and their families.
Find a charity that supports premature babies and their families, such as March of Dimes or Miracle Babies, and donate to make a difference.
Contact your local hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and see if they need volunteers to help out with premature babies.
If you or someone you know has had a premature baby, share your story on social media or in your community to raise awareness of preterm birth.
Organize a fundraiser for prematurity awareness and invite friends, family, and other members of the community to support this important cause.
Observing World Prematurity Day helps raise awareness of the issue of premature birth and its devastating effects on infants, mothers and families. By bringing attention to prematurity, we can help create better health care services and policies that will improve outcomes for babies born too soon.
World Prematurity Day is also an opportunity to promote prevention, early detection and proactive care that can reduce the incidence of preterm birth. By highlighting the risks associated with preterm delivery and emphasizing the importance of preventive measures, we can help ensure newborns are given every chance possible for a healthy start in life.
Finally, observing World Prematurity Day increases support for continued research and innovation into causes of prematurity and treatments available for preterm infants. Through contributions from organizations all over the world, we can accelerate the development of promising therapies so that more babies are born healthy and strong!
