As part of the Integrated Community Case Management-Maternal and Child Survival (iCCM-MaCS) project, Malaria Consortium provided formal health facilities in Uganda with incubators and established the use of kangaroo mother care — a World Health Organization-endorsed alternative to conventional neonatal care of pre-term babies and low-birth-weight infants.
This brief shares learning around the iCCM-MaCS project and the kangaroo mother care technique, and offers recommendations for improving maternal and child health in rural and low-income settings.
