Abstract
Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a cost-effective, evidence-based intervention for preterm and low-birth-weight (LBW) infants. KMC offers several advantages, such as improved growth and sustained long-term development. Despite its numerous benefits, the adoption and implementation of KMC have been minimal. The number of hours that KMC is practiced remains minimal, even in facilities where it is already implemented. There are a number of possible obstacles to KMC, such as problems with the surroundings and resources of the facilities, unfavourable perceptions of the attitudes of the employees, and not enough knowledge about the advantages of KMC (Seidman et al., 2015).
