Pomp and splendor characterized the commemoration of this year’s World Prematurity Day at Levy Mwanawasa University Teaching Hospital (LMUTH).

The World Prematurity Day is held annually on 17th November to raise awareness of premature birth and the sometimes devastating impact it can have on families.

This year’s World Prematurity Day was commemorated under the theme “Together for babies born too soon – Caring for the future”, highlighting that investing in the care of this vulnerable patient group is an investment in the future generation.

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center has signed a memorandum of understanding with a major teaching hospital in the capital city of Zambia to create an academic, clinical, and research partnership.
