This year marks the 7th annual World Prematurity Day. In 2014, more than 200 countries participated in activities, and more than 60 countries planned special events. An estimated 1.6 billion people around the globe were reached.

November 17th is a day where the world pauses for a moment to think about the reality of premature births, how to prevent them and how to best help the preemies who enter our world far too early.


The objective of Super Preemies’ Run is aims to raise an awareness of prematurity and the concerns of preterm babies and their families worldwide because infants born preterm represent the largest child patient group, how to prevent them, complications that need to bear by the premature babies and the high medical cost that need to bear by the parents.

Mouse mommy just got to know that premature baby required 5 injection doses of SYNAGIS to helps protect high-risk baby from severe Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) disease. Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-Shull) virus, or RSV is a common virus that many parents may not have heard of. Like the flu, RSV is a seasonal virus that is easily spread. In fact, most children will get RSV by the age of 2. RSV begins with cold-like symptoms but can spread to the lungs.1 For babies with certain health conditions, RSV can be very serious. This SYNAGIS cost about RM3,200 per injection dose and premature babies were required 5 injection.

Most frequent causes of premature births are due to vaginal infections are responsible for about 50 per cent of premature births. They progress up the vagina and trigger contractions which cannot be stopped; smoking, diet, alcohol and stress can likewise be causes; elderly prima gravida (mother carrying her first child is older than 35 years); mother with high blood pressure and/or heart disease; multiple births, also as a result of fertility treatments. 2
