What is World Prematurity Day?
World Prematurity Day is a global movement to raise awareness of premature birth and the impact it can have on the baby and their families

On the 17th November, staff from across University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire, their premature babies and their families, past and present, come together with neonatal units nationally and internationally to celebrate the 15 million babies born early every year around the world. 60 000 of these babies are born prematurely in the UK

Over 100 countries will join forces to raise awareness.

This year's Event will be held in CSB on the ground floor, starting at 17:00. All welcome.

World Prematurity T-Shirts, in both Adult and Children's sizes, can be purchased from the Charity Hub on at the Charity's online shop - see link

Coming soon in 2025

Set in a stunning and pristine wilderness 150 km south of the Arctic Circle. This

this harsh environment, tests your survival instinct and provides complete
tranquillity and relaxation under the Arctic stars. Experience the thrill of husky
driving and snowmobiling. Learn the life-saving skills of ice fishing, fire lighting,
shelter and snow hole building to name but a few.
