Right now, more than ever before we need your help. With so many causes in desperate need, regular donations drying up and grant funds becoming more and more competitive, we need you 💜 Today is Giving Tuesday, we ask that you help us continue to help others by donating.
Each day approximately 12 West Australian babies are born requiring special care in a Neonatal Unit, totalling more than 4,000 WA babies each year. With more than 1,000 spending a week or more in a Neonatal Unit. The impact on families, especially those from regional WA who spend weeks and months in Perth is tremendous! These WA babies join more than 15 million babies born prematurely, globally each year, representing 10% of all births.
Prematurity is the leading cause of admission to a Neonatal Unit, but it is not the only reason. Many full-term infants are also admitted due to illness. We believe that education, support, advocacy and community awareness is vital. Can you help us continue this great work throughout 2020 and beyond?
