There are roughly 10 times more stillborn babies than babies who die of SIDS each year, yet this statistic hasn't changed for years. That's roughly 2000 babies a year or six a day in Australia
Preterm birth, birth before 37 weeks gestation, is the leading cause of newborn death, and babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifetime health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and others
Worldwide, 13 million babies are born early every year, including more than 45,000 Australian babies who are admitted to neonatal intensive care or special care units.

World Prematurity Day
The National Premmie Foundation joined organizations in Europe, Africa and USA, to launch the first-ever World Prematurity Day, in calling on governments worldwide to reduce death and disability caused by premature birth.
Worldwide, 13 million babies are born early every year, including more than 45,000 Australian babies who are admitted to neonatal intensive care or special care units.
“Premature births are an enormous global problem that is exacting a huge toll emotionally, physically, and financially on families, medical systems and economies,” says Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes. “We are calling on every country – including the United States – to reduce their rate of premature birth to 9.6 percent or less.”
Preterm birth, birth before 37 weeks gestation, is the leading cause of newborn death, and babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifetime health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and others. One million babies worldwide die each year as a result of their early birth.
The March of Dimes, the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants, (EFCNI) Africa-based LittleBigSouls International Foundation, and the National Premmie Foundation in Australia are the founding global alliance members of World Prematurity Day. The global alliances hope to harness the power of social media to encourage governments to give top priority to educating health professionals and women about caring for high-risk pregnancies and premature babies.
People everywhere can show their support for global prematurity prevention efforts by going to www.facebook.com/WorldPrematurityDay and joining the virtual campaign by changing their Facebook status to reflect a prematurity awareness message.’
Some of the events happening from our Global International Partners include:
- In Nigeria and Ghana, LittleBigSouls International Foundation will mark World Prematurity Day with its Every Breath Counts campaign and its first ever-charity event, “Walk to Keep a Baby Alive.”
- In Brussels, EFCNI, representing parents from 18 European countries, will issue White Paper and a Charter of Rights for Newborn Health at the European Parliament on November 23rd.
- In New York, the Empire State Building will be lit purple during November in recognition of the Prematurity Awareness efforts.
Yasminah's Gift Of Hope and fellow member of the National Premmie Foundation L'il Aussie Prems will be launching and distributing our unique Premmie Gift Of Hope Journal across Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) and Special Care Nursery's (SCN) during November to provide families with extra guidance and support during their child's journey.
Some other events organised by fellow National Premmie Foundation Partners include:
- PIPA's annual 'Prems in the Park' picnic on November 6th
- Life's Little Treasures Foundation - 'Walk for Prems' on the 6th November in various locations
- LMK is conducting 'Pound the pavement for Prems' on the 6th November
The National Premmie Foundation will be conducting 2 major initiatives on November 17th World Prematurity Day. The first of these is the re-launch of the National Premmie Foundation which will take place on the evening of November 17th at 'The Pier' in Port Melbourne. It is 6:30pm for a 7pm start and the cost is $40. Secondly the National Premmie Foundation will be distributing parent bags to hospitals connected with each of the member groups.
