Today is #WorldPrematurityDay.

Globally, more than 1 in 10 of all babies are born preterm - before 37 weeks of pregnancy.
Babies #BornTooSoon deserve every chance to live, 💕 and thrive.

More: bit.ly/3CpTJDO
Complications relating to preterm births are now the leading cause of death for children under 5.

Most could be prevented with the right care before, during and after childbirth bit.ly/3CpTJDO

#BornTooSoon
Depending on where they are born, there remain significant disparities in a preterm baby’s chances of survival.

In high-income countries, most #BornTooSoon (at or after 28 weeks) will survive.
In poorer countries survival rates can be as low as 1 in 10 bit.ly/3CpTJDO

“Food and energy are fundamental to human life, and human health. The lack of either, or their over-consumption, can have severe consequences for health and economies”-@DrTedros at the @g20org Leaders’ Summit
“Even in #G20 countries, the cheapest food is often the least healthy, fuelling the growing epidemics of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, with huge costs to health systems and economies”-@DrTedros
“The energy crisis presents a twin threat to health:
-the 🌍 addiction to fossil fuels poisons the air, causing diseases like asthma & as the main contributor to #ClimateChange ⬆️ the prevalence of diseases
 -1B people are served by 🏥 with unreliable/no electricity”-@DrTedros
