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.
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
