This year, World Premature Birth Day is included in the World Health Organization (WHO) calendar for the first time (November 17). Every year, millions of babies are born prematurely around the world. Some weigh less than a kilogram, their breathing is barely noticeable, and the first weeks of life are a struggle for survival, the "Neishnešiotukas" association said in a press release.
