World Prematurity Day 2025. World prematurity day reminds us of babies born too early and the health challenges they can face as they grow up. Premature birth is the leading cause of death in children under the age of five worldwide.

World prematurity day is celebrated every november 17th as a day to raise awareness of the challenges faced by premature babies and the critical need for quality neonatal care. As in previous years, we organise an online chat on the occasion of world prematurity day to raise awareness about the challenges of preterm birth.
