A groundbreaking pilot programme at Nasser Hospital is using kangaroo mother care—a skin-to-skin contact method—to support vulnerable newborns in their early days. The approach, which involves continuous close contact between the infant and caregiver, has shown promise in improving survival rates and health outcomes for at-risk babies. Healthcare providers are closely monitoring the programme’s effectiveness as part of efforts to expand access to this life-saving technique. Details on how the method is being implemented and its early results are now available.
