One in 10 babies is born prematurely, that is, before the 37th week of pregnancy. In Poland, that's about 26,000 premature babies a year. They are completely defenseless as they lie in incubators connected to monitoring equipment. And so tiny. Some fit in the palm of your hand and weigh as much as a teddy bear. Fortunately, thanks to huge advances in neonatology, it is possible to save them. Yesterday, all premature babies - tiny, small and quite grown-up - celebrated their holiday.
