Send a Tweet and Help Save the Lives of Newborns

So when Dr. Gary L. Darmstadt of the Gates Foundation told us that nearly 3 million newborn babies around the world die each year from conditions that are preventable and treatable, we immediately wanted to join his effort to help save lives. Dr. Darmstadt (@gdarmsta) and the Gates Foundation  are conducting a wonderful and unique 28-day Twitter campaign to share facts about newborn health and help save the lives of newborns around the world. The 28 days of the campaign represent the critical first 28 days of a newborn’s life when they are most at risk.

The campaign will lead up to the first EVER Global Newborn Health Conference in South Africa from April 15-18. The conference will focus on how to educate people around the world about the simple things that can be done to reverse the trend of newborn deaths.
