On our continent of Africa, the high cost of incubators is one of the reasons why many hospitals and rural healthcare centres are under equipped. With the high number or premature baby births in Africa, a low cost intervention like Kangaroo Mother Care (skin to skin contact), when consistently practiced and encouraged, is effective in achieving our collective long term goal of healthy thriving stable babies. Awareness on KMC and its proven benefits should be promoted at any opportunity, and today, on International Kangaroo Mother Care Awareness Day, together with our partners, we continue to work at making KMC a standard in all NICUs and Maternal Care centres across Africa. Part of our commitment to increasing the practice of KMC is our major project; the building of the KMC Center and Mothers Nest at the Tema General Hospital in Ghana. Tell us about your experience of KMC in Africa. Did you find it easy to access, were you encouraged to practice KMC?
