2014 WPD Overview  

The growth of World Prematurity Day over the last several years has also been in part due to renewed global interest for an action around the Every Newborn Action Plan the United Nations Secretary General’s Every Woman Every Child initiative. Specifically, these efforts, through the hard work of supportive governments, in-country partner organizations, parents and advocates, have renewed critical attention to the need to address preterm birth, newborn survival, stillbirths and maternal health. The first international awareness day for preterm birth was created by European parents organizations and celebrated on 17 November 2009. World Prematurity Day was first celebrated in 2011 and gained traction globally after the Born Too Soon report in 2012. In 2013 there were events held in over 60 countries.
