If universal KMC coverage was achieved, it is estimated that it could save the lives of more than 450,000 preterm newborns each year.

Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) was initially developed in Bogota 35 years ago when there was a shortage of incubators for preterm babies. When practiced in hospitals, it consists of continuous skin-to-skin contact, establishing breast feeding, early discharge, and close-follow-up. KMC is widely recognized to promote physiological stability, facilitate breastfeeding, keep a baby warm, reduce the risk of serious infections and reduce the mortality of hospitalized, stable premature infants by about 50 percent. This practice is also a wonderful way to promote bonding between infants and their parents, and may have lasting neurodevelopmental benefits.
