Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is the practice of early, continuous and prolonged skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the baby with exclusive breastfeeding. Despite clear evidence of impact in improving survival and health outcomes among low birth weight infants, KMC coverage has remained low and implementation has been limited. The multi-site project includes formative research to identify barriers and contextual factors that affect implementation and utilization of KMC and design scalable models to deliver KMC across the facility-community continuum. This will be followed by implementation and evaluation of these models in routine care settings, in an iterative fashion, with the aim of reaching a successful model for wider district, state and national-level scale-up. The aim is to successfully provide KMC to 80% or more of babies born in the study area weighing under 2000 grammes
