More than 2.7 million newborns die each year, accounting for
44% of children dying before the age of five years worldwide.
Complications of preterm birth are the leading cause of death
among newborns.1
Kangaroo mother care can include early
and continuous skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, early
discharge from the health-care facility and supportive care.2
The clinical efficacy and health benefits of kangaroo mother
care have been demonstrated in multiple settings. In low
birthweight newborns (< 2000 g) who are clinically stable,
kangaroo mother care reduces mortality and if widely applied
could reduce deaths in preterm newborns.3,4

of the evidence, country-level adoption and implementation
of kangaroo mother care has been limited and global coverage
