An early birth can mean a lifetime of disabilities. Babies born too soon can face severe health problems and a lifetime of disabilities. Every year 15.1 million babies are born too soon and around 1 million die due to prematurity, accounting for one-third of the world's 2.9 million newborn deaths.
November 17, 2013 marks World Prematurity Day (WPD), where millions of people around the world will join a global conversation around preterm birth and stand up for #EveryNewborn.
