Prematurity Awareness Month

Prematurity Awareness Month, observed in November, aims to raise understanding about preterm birth—when babies are born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Preterm birth can lead to health challenges and developmental issues for infants. The month promotes education, encourages research, and advocates for support and resources for affected families. By increasing awareness, it helps society understand the risks, prevention strategies, and the importance of maternal health to improve outcomes for premature babies and enhance care.
