The Kingdom of Bahrain joins countries around the world in observing World Prematurity Day on November 17 each year. The day aims to raise awareness about preterm birth and premature infants, highlight the importance of antenatal care to help prevent early delivery, promote maintaining a healthy weight during pregnancy, and educate expectant mothers on managing blood sugar and blood pressure levels. It also sheds light on the challenges and burdens that premature birth places on parents, families, and preterm babies.
