World Prematurity Day, also known as World Premature Baby Day, is an annual global observance dedicated to raising awareness about preterm births and the challenges faced by premature babies and their families. Preterm birth, defined as delivery before 37 weeks of pregnancy, affects millions worldwide and is a leading cause of infant mortality and long-term health issues

2025 Theme: A Strong Start for a Hopeful Future
This year's theme, "Give preterm babies a strong start for a hopeful future," aligns with WHO's broader "Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures" campaign. It calls for investments in maternal health, equitable access to care, and family support systems. Activities include lighting landmarks in purple (the day's symbolic color), sharing survivor stories on social media, and hosting webinars to educate healthcare providers and policymakers.

1.1 Million ART Campaign

The South African government started the 1.1 Million HIV Treatment Gap Campaign in February 2025 with the goal of identifying and enrolling 1.1 million individuals with HIV who are not receiving treatment by the end of 2025. Known as "Close the Gap," the campaign's goal is to assist these people in beginning or resuming antiretroviral therapy (ART) in order to suppress the virus, meet the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets, and put an end to the AIDS epidemic by 2030.

Effective support entails forming alliances or collaborating with others, concentrating on 1.1 Million ART campaign goal, informing the public about hazards and potential solutions, encouraging behavioural changes, and carrying out continual assessment to make sure objective.

To the District Management, Supporting Sub- Districts, the Mobilisation team and all the Departments that supported and made this campaign a great success, A job well done.

Preservation of culture: It's a reminder to value and preserve the customs, languages, rituals, food, dress, and beliefs passed down through generations.
National pride: It gives South Africans an opportunity to reflect on their shared identity and journey as a nation.

On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, MEC Lehari joined patients and medical professionals in commemorating World Patient Safety Day. Along with management teams from the province and the district, MEC for the Department of Health Jonas Sello Lehari observed World Patient Safety Day today by interacting with patients, specifically those at the maternity ward and the Outpatient Department (OPD) at Schweizer-Reneke District Hospital in Mamusa Local Municipality.

The MEC listened to the patients' experiences and gave them time to express their opinions in areas that needed improvement, including those where they believed the institution was operating extraordinarily well.
