Kangaroo mother care

Ministry if Health. Many infants die as a result of being born before time (pre-term deaths) and this is because by the time they are born their bodies are not fully developed and ready for the world but when it happens there's an option of an incubator. The only problem not all health facilities in the country have incubators so the Ministry of Health in the country have come up with the promotion of Kangaroo mother care where the mother is taught on how to take care of an infant born pre-term. Since the campaign started this has lowered on the number of pre-term deaths. Thank you for the program.
