Skin-to-Skin care could save vulnerable Newborns' lives
NCT ID NCT02811432
Summary
This study tested whether starting kangaroo mother care (continuous skin-to-skin contact) immediately after birth, even before babies were fully stable, could reduce deaths among small newborns in Uganda. Over 2,200 low birth weight babies were randomly assigned to receive either this immediate skin-to-skin care or standard incubator care. Researchers measured whether this simple, low-cost intervention could save lives in the critical first week.
