Mother’s Touch, Scientific Breakthrough | Partners of Human Potential

When you get the right partners together, the potential is endless. Like in India, where the quest to save more babies’ lives began with a mother’s touch.

Immediate Kangaroo Mother Care, or iKMC, is a skin-to-skin technique inspired by how Kangaroo babies stay inside their mother’s pouch. Previously done only on stable and healthy babies, the latest research shows that even unstable, pre-term or low-birth-weight babies can benefit from their mother’s touch, immediately after birth.
