November is Prematurity Awareness Month, and World Prematurity Day is recognized on November 17. The purpose of these recognition days is to raise awareness of the impact of premature birth on babies, families, and the health of mothers and infants. Prematurity is the leading cause of infant death in Franklin County. Through June 2024, 11.9% of babies in Franklin County were born premature, before 37 weeks gestation. CelebrateOne, central Ohio’s collective impact initiative to reduce infant mortality and improve health equity, has set a goal to reduce premature births to 5.5% by 2030.

🌍💙 Today is World Prematurity Day, a day to raise awareness about the impact of preterm birth worldwide and the urgent need for quality care for premature infants. Every year, millions of babies are born too soon, facing significant challenges in their early lives. Access to proper healthcare and specialized care for preterm infants is critical in giving them the best chance at life. Let’s unite to support efforts that ensure these babies receive the care they need to thrive. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of premature infants and their families. #WorldPrematurityDay #PretermBirthAwareness #QualityCare #InfantHealth #HealthcareForAll #PrematureInfants #SupportCaregivers #SaveLives #Healthcare #Simulation #RuralHealth

Healthy Birth Day, Inc.'s #CounttheKicks initiative is an evidence-based stillbirth prevention program. Stillbirth affects a family every day in Maryland, and Black women have a 2x increased risk of stillbirth as compared with white women. Furthermore, stillbirths raise the risk of maternal deaths, resulting in a wider gap in racial disparity. Improving birthing outcomes for Maryland families depends on teaching pregnant people how to monitor fetal movement during their third trimester, and also ensuring that birthing peoples’ voices are heard by their care team. During this Black Maternal Health Week (April 11-17, 2024) learn more about MPSC's proud partnership to deliver third trimester kick counting and #stillbirth education to healthcare providers and their patients throughout Maryland. #BMHW24  

What if every pregnant patient got a call to ask about the support and resources they needed for their baby? With support from Hennepin County, our East Lake Clinic is doing just that. In recognition of #BMHW24, here’s how our team is addressing health disparities and helping families – one phone call, car seat, breast pump, and referral at a time. #BlackMamasMatter #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #ReproJustice https://ow.ly/smyL50RfmN0

Today, the world comes together to recognize World Prematurity Day (WPD), a day dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges faced by prematurely born infants. This year’s theme, “Over 13 million babies born prematurely every year. Access to quality care everywhere!”, underscores the urgent need to address global disparities in healthcare by ensuring all preterm babies receive high-quality care, no matter where they are born. Preterm birth remains the leading cause of death among children under five. Many survivors face lifelong disabilities due to insufficient healthcare. Each year, an estimated 13.4 million babies are born prematurely worldwide. In Viet Nam, premature births account for approximately 45% of all child mortality cases. The 2024 theme calls for immediate action to bridge the healthcare gap and advocates for improved maternal and neonatal care to save lives and improve outcomes for families everywhere. #prematurity #nicu #babies #ewpcn #worldprematurityday

Did you know that more than 13 million babies are born too soon each year? Yesterday we spread awareness and love for World Prematurity Day. Babies born prior to 37 weeks gestation are at a greater risk for survival making access to quality prenatal and neonatal care crucial. World Prematurity Day is represented by the color purple, representing sensitivity and exceptionality. #WorldPrematurityDay2024 #prematurityawareness #worldprematurityday

Preterm birth is the single biggest cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in the UK. In her latest blog, our CEO Lucy Chappell explains how we're working to remove the barriers facing research into this important area 💜 "We must actively and continually seek ways to go further, to build our understanding of the most effective, woman-centred ways to prevent preterm birth, to provide treatment and support for preterm babies and their families, and to ensure that we implement evidence optimally." 📝 Read Professor Chappell's blog: https://lnkd.in/eEQt4dVu #WorldPrematurityDay #PrematurityAwarenessMonth
