The 2nd
Annual World Prematurity Day is November 17. Please join the March of Dimes and
organizations around the globe as we bring awareness to premature birth -- a
leading cause of newborn death.
Prematurity
can lead to lifelong health consequences such as cerebral palsy, breathing
problems as well as hearing and vision loss. In addition, it can cost 10
times more to care for a premature baby than a full-term delivery.
Did
you know that 15 million babies are born
too soon worldwide, and 1 million of
these babies don’t survive?
Help
raise awareness of this global problem on World Premature Day, November, 17.
Change your Facebook status with a message on premature birth, update your
profile picture, share your story and read experiences from those around the
world.
Show
the world your support by visiting http://www.facebook.com/WorldPrematurityDay
today.
