Health innovations. Kangaroo mothercare in Bangladesh
Description
Premature babies are being kept alive in rural Bangladesh with kangaroo mother care. This means holding babies close to their mother’s chest, just like baby kangaroos in their mother’s pouch. The main problem for low birthweight babies is hypothermia, but electricity is often unreliable so incubators cannot be relied upon.
