The Purple Heart is a globally perceived symbol and award for wounds in combat. Originally it was only for soldiers, but later it was also awarded to personalities who have made a significant contribution to the care of premature babies. In the Czech Republic, the Purple Hearts have been awarded since 2010 in the following categories: the Czech Neonatology Society Award, the Neonatology Section Award of the Czech Nurses Association, the Public Personality Award and the Nedoklubka Award. Since 2023, the Purple Heart Parents' Award for doctors and nurses in the field of neonatology has been added.
