ON Sunday 17th November 2019 IT was World Prematurity Day. It is a global movement to raise awareness of premature birth and the sometimes devastating impact it can have on families.
On this day Bliss comes together with partners from around the world to talk about premature birth in our countries and to raise awareness about the hurdles babies and parents face, and overcome, every single day.
World Prematurity Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of premature birth and work with partners around the world to prevent it.
Sadly, prematurity is the leading cause of death in children under five.
60,000 babies are born prematurely each year in th UK
15,000,000 babies worldwide are born prematurely every year
1,000,000 of these babies will not survive
I would like to say a huge thank you to all the doctors and nurses of St Helier Hospital Neonatal Unit in Carshalton who cared for our daughter Elena when she was born 10 weeks early weighing 2lbs. She is now 18 and doing very well.
As a thank you we fundraised and bought a £17,000+ Incubator.
From Theo The Magician’s Magic Sunflower Competitions, my Extreme Business Networking Events ranging from Bowling, Pool Nights and the very popular Fun Charity Poker Nights we have manage to purchase Baby Simulators for the training of Neonatal Doctor and Nurses, Breathing Monitors and various pieces of specialized equipment.
