World Prematurity Day, celebrated each year on 17 November, is an opportunity to call attention to the most vulnerable members of every society in the world – babies born prematurely. This year, World Prematurity Day will be commemorated on 16 November in Kenya.

Every baby deserves equal right to quality healthcare, including the smallest and sickest ones. #WorldPrematurityDay #UHC

Saving #premature babies is the first step in ending preventable newborn deaths by 2030. #WorldPrematurityDay #healthforall, #UHC

Investing in #preterm birth prevention & care: 1) relieves the burden on families 2) reduces health system costs 3) is the right thing to do #WorldPrematurityDay #UHC @MOH_Kenya

Investing in #preterm babies saves lives, relieves families of untold suffering and brings Kenya closer to achieving #UHC. Nurturing babies #borntoosoon is our collective responsibility. #WorldPrematurityDay #UHC @MOH_Kenya @SicilyKariuki

#Premature babies are the most vulnerable members of our community. They deserve the same quality, equity and dignity that you and I have. #WorldPrematurityDay #borntoosoon #Healthforall @MOH_Kenya @MOH_Kenya @SicilyKariuki,@MarthaKarua ,@FirstLadyKenya

Poverty is a major driver of #preterm deaths. Consider this: more than 90% of extremely preterm babies born in poor countries die within the first few days. In rich countries, more than 90% of them survive. #UHC means leaving no one behind. #WorldPrematurityDay

1 in 10 babies in the world are born #premature. What does #WorldPrematurityDay mean to you? Join the discussion in the comments below. #borntoosoon #UHC @MOH_Kenya

This #WorldPrematurityDay, we draw our attention to the 18,000 babies that are #borntoosoon every year in Kenya and the 14,000 that die before their 5th birthday. It’s time to end preterm births in Kenya as we strive to achieve #UHC. @MOH_Kenya @SicilyKariuki
