World Prematurity Day HistoryWorld Prematurity Day is designed to raise awareness about the challenges and experiences premature infants and their families face. Premature birth, defined as being born before the 37th week of pregnancy, is a critical issue that affects one in ten babies worldwide. This global event unites various stakeholders, including healthcare professionals, researchers, parents, and policymakers, to collaboratively address the causes, effects, and solutions to premature births in order to reduce the number of premature babies and improve their prognosis. The first World Prematurity Day took place on November 17, 2011. Since then, it has been observed annually in the United Kingdom, which has one of Europe's highest rates of premature births. In the UK, approximately 60,000 babies are born prematurely each year, resulting in numerous health complications and substantial economic burdens on both families and the healthcare system. Consequently, World Prematurity Day in the UK focuses on raising awareness of critical issues such as antenatal care, advancements in neonatal care, and the long-term developmental and health challenges associated with prematurity. In the United Kingdom, World Prematurity Day is observed through various events, campaigns, and initiatives aimed at raising awareness and support for the cause. Events include educational conferences, fundraising efforts, social media campaigns, and public events where purple (the official colour of the observance) is prominently displayed to symbolise the event. Just as in other participating countries, World Prematurity Day in the UK occurs on November 17 each year, highlighting the importance of ongoing research, collaboration, and support to address the challenges faced by premature infants and their families.
