As part of a national awareness scheme run by charities Bliss and Ickle Pickles, buildings across the UK will be lit up in purple.
World Prematurity Day is an international awareness day for premature birth and all the issues surrounding it. 15 million babies are born too soon each year across the globe, that's 29 babies every minute. Sadly around one million of these babies will not survive.
There are many organisations and charities raising awareness across the UK of this very serious issue affecting parents and families supporting World Prematurity Day on Tuesday.
The Harris-Wellbeing Preterm Birth Centre at the Liverpool Women's Hospital in partnership with the University of Liverpool, are in full support of raising awareness. The University of Liverpool's Active Learning Laboratory, in the School of Engineering on Brownlow Hill, will be illuminated in purple to mark World Prematurity Day, on Tuesday 17 November 2015.
As part of the awareness day we are inviting people to “wear purple” to raise awareness and donations will benefit the Harris-Wellbeing Preterm Birth Research Centre in conjunction with Liverpool Women’s Charity at the Liverpool Women’s Hospital. In addition the Liverpool Women’s Charity is helping to organise a World Prematurity Day walk in Sefton Park on the evening of 17 November.
