On November 15, marked as World Prematurity Day, CHRDS is launching a week of awareness and mobilization for the care of premature babies and their families.

On the occasion of World Prematurity Day, celebrated on November 15, the Centre hospitalier Rives de Seine (CHRDS) is organizing several awareness and mobilization actions throughout the coming week. The aim is to highlight the essential support provided to babies born prematurely and their families.
From November 17 to 19, the teams from the Maternity and Neonatology departments will participate in the Skin-to-Skin Challenge, an initiative organized by the association SOS Préma. This challenge aims to encourage and support parents who wish to share these special moments with their premature baby(ies).
This event is an important opportunity to highlight the many benefits of skin-to-skin contact, strengthen the parent-child bond, and emphasize its crucial role in the care pathway for premature newborns.
CHRDS invites everyone to join this collective effort to "raise the profile of prematurity" and support this cause.
