🎥 Watch this short video to understand how small actions, like Kangaroo Mother Care, can make a BIG impact. 👶 #KMC is the practice of ongoing skin-to-skin contact and exclusive breastfeeding. This has measurable and significant health benefits for infants born too soon, too small or sick. Along with other interventions, KMC is a central part of the Saving Little Lives program that has been implemented in a total of 12 hospitals in the Sidama region of #Ethiopia - thanks to work of Hawassa University. #worldprematurityday2023 #prematurityawarenessmonth #globalhealth #helpingsavelives
