Kangaroo Mother Care for Parents In Malaysia
Watch this WHO video on KMC!
This informative video from the World Health Organization reinforces that KMC is an intervention that enables the mother to take a central role in her own and her newborn’s care, thereby ensuring the power stays with the mother, and health workers support and respond to the mother’s and newborn’s needs.
New Publication on KMC - Exploring factors influencing the uptake of kangaroo mother care: key informant interviews with parents.
The updated World Health Organization (WHO) guideline recommends immediate kangaroo mother care (KMC) for all infants, particularly those born preterm. However, its uptake and sustainability have been unsatisfactory. Therefore, we aimed to gain deeper insight into factors influencing the uptake of KMC practice in our setting, and thereby identify possible solutions for the development of relevant interventions to improve its adoption and make KMC a routine practice for all infants.
