Parents of premature babies gather in Dublin on World Prematurity Day

A new booklet has been launched to help parents of premature babies ahead of World Prematurity Day. Each year over 4,500 Irish babies and 1 in 10 babies globally are born prematurely.

The Irish Neonatal Health Alliance (INHA) was today joined by children who were born prematurely and their families to mark the 9th annual World Prematurity Day, which aims to shine a spotlight on the challenges these special ‘early deliveries’ face.
