Breaking Barriers and Improving Newborn Survival through Kangaroo Mother Care in Benin, Sub-Saharan Africa
Background/Purpose Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is cost-effective and has proven to reduce the mortality of low birth weight neonates (LBWs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), but its uptake is low in Sub-Saharan Africa where neonatal mortality is high. KMC units were implemented in 4 hospitals of Benin as part of a multifaceted intervention co-funded by USAID Benin (2015-2017) to decrease neonatal mortality. Our study looks at the sustained impact of KMC units on LBWs in Benin, 2 …
