Today is #WorldPrematurityDay. Let's raise awareness of preterm birth and the health concerns of preterm babies and their families worldwide. Approximately 15 million babies are born preterm each year, accounting for about one in 10 of all babies born worldwide.

Grateful to those who are recognizing and researching #groupBstrep infection in utero! #pogbsd
Prenatal-onset #groupBstrep disease is often overlooked or not recognized, discounting the thousands of parents who have lost babies who were infected by GBS in the womb. We want to change that! Visit gbsi.me/prenatalonset for further info on these and other knowledge-based prevention strategies.
