On the occasion of “World Premature Day” on November 17, Dr.Papie brand of STARMED Pharmaceutical Group presented 150 gifts to premature babies at the National Children’s Hospital.
According to statistics from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), each year in the world there are about 15 million premature babies, or 1 in 10 babies born prematurely. To date, premature birth has become the leading cause of death in newborns and the second leading cause of death in children under 5 years old. In Vietnam, the rate of premature births is about 7%, each year there are about 100,000 – 110,000 premature babies and 17,000 babies die within 28 days after birth.
Raising premature babies is always a long and difficult journey, requiring patience and relentless efforts on the line between life and death from the baby himself, the medical team, and the family.
With the aim of accompanying and sharing the difficulties and risks with premature babies and their families, on November 17, a representative of the Dr.Papie brand (under STARMED Pharmaceutical Group) visited and presented 150 gifts to premature babies at the National Children’s Hospital.

These are all high-quality products of Dr.Papie – a leading brand in the field of providing health care and protection products for children.

The product is gentle, safe, and does not cause irritation; helps to bathe quickly and cleanly without rinsing; and at the same time prevents prickly heat, itching, dermatitis, and strengthens the protective barrier for children. Meanwhile, Dr. Papie tongue cleaning gauze is the first moist gauze in Vietnam to be granted a patent by the Intellectual Property Office, providing a pioneering solution in protecting and caring for the oral cavity of children from birth, preventing tongue fungus, stomatitis, and preventing early tooth decay in children. Finally, Dr.Papie 0+ fever-reducing towel is a safe physical fever-reducing measure with a safe herbal system from Eclipta prostrata, perilla, lemon essence… to help babies reduce heat, reduce fever, as well as clean, cool and reduce itching in the baby’s skin with prickly heat, pimples, diaper rash, dermatitis…
