Thank you to everyone who stopped by and showed your support for the 1 million babies who died this past year from prematurity and the 12 million who continue to struggle to live! Prematurity has a global impact and maternal and child health is becoming a prominent concern in the field of global health! Prematurity is an issue that affects all- whether you are the mother, father, or relative- or if you are member of society bearing the 26 million dollar healthcare burden of prematurity.
