At St. John XXIII Hospital Aber, we're redefining neonatal care with Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC)—a simple, low-cost practice that is saving lives and empowering parents. 👶💞

From skin-to-skin warmth to boosting breastfeeding, KMC is especially vital in rural settings like Oyam District, where access to advanced neonatal care is limited.

💡 Did you know? KMC can reduce neonatal mortality by up to 51% for babies weighing less than 2kg (WHO).

👉 Meet baby Keila—a preterm miracle who thrived thanks to KMC.

❤️ Together, we’re creating brighter futures for families in Oyam and beyond.
