Home Based Kangaroo Mother Care

Home Based Kangaroo Mother Care

Kangaroo Mother Care Foundation (KMCF) India and UNICEF Maharashtra partnered with the Department of Public Health for upscaling KMC in 78 tribal blocks of the State of Maharashtra since the year 2019. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is an evidence-based, simple, cost-effective way of caring for low-birth-weight infants and has already been promoted at various levels of public health facilities in the state of Maharashtra. Considering the importance of this intervention, having guidelines for practicing KMC at home is the need of the hour, particularly in tribal areas where the prevalence of low birth weight is high. This manual gives clear guidance to service providers especially frontline health workers on how home-based KMC can be implemented for caring for a low-birth-weight new-born at the village level. Many tips for care of the new-born babies by the mothers / ASHAs / ANMs at the village level are highlighted in this manual, which will be very useful.
