We are very blessed at our hospital to have the big KMC ward. We have had infants that are very sick, or babies that have had feeding issues. “Inside this ward there are babies with different issues, it’s not just premature babies. “What many people don’t know is that KMC also facilitates the process of healing for babies experiencing health challenges here at our hospital,” explains Sr Zeenat Dalwai, Operational Manager in charge of the KMC ward at the Mowbray Maternity Hospital. KMC is an especially important intervention for babies that are born prematurely. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) refers to the practice of providing continuous skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby, exclusive breastmilk feeding, and early discharge from hospital. May 15th marks International Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) Awareness Day.
