It’s #WorldPrematurityDay

Every year, 15 million babies are born too soon.
Too small. Too early. And far too vulnerable to life-threatening complications.

But with the right care, most preterm and low birth weight babies survive. They can go on to thrive and lead wonderful lives bit.ly/43NzUH8

Together with @metoffice, we have issued a Yellow Cold Health Alert for a number of English regions from 8am Monday until 8am Friday.

Find out where is affected on our Data Dashboard: https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/weather-health-alerts/cold
Dr Agostinho Sousa, Head of Extreme Events and Health Protection at UKHSA, said: 'With the Met Office forecasting drops in temperature across Northern England and the Midlands into next week, it is important to check in on those most vulnerable to the cold. Cold weather can have a serious impact on health, particularly for older people and those with pre-existing health conditions as it increases the risks of heart attacks, strokes, and chest infections.'

Our new paper out: AI boosted our genomic surveillance investigations by finding 37 missed transmission routes and reaching >90% sensitivity in key scenarios.

AI + WGS can speed outbreak reviews and help IP teams act faster #IDSky

Genomic surveillance is a key must!
