World Prematurity Day

World Prematurity Day is a global movement to raise awareness of premature birth and the sometimes devastating impact it can have on families. On 17 November, AiM AN-ID comes together with partners from around the world to talk about premature birth in our countries and take action on behalf of the 15 million babies born early every year.

Premature birth is the biggest killer of babies in the UK. Tragically, around 1,200 babies die here each year after being born too soon. Many others who survive a very early birth develop lifelong problems such as cerebral palsy, blindness and learning difficulties.

World Prematurity Day is on 17 November and we are proud to add our support.
